regurgitating talking points from a third party and the inability to distinguish between divisive issues and issues of difference. I
am a college professor and pastor and when I teach theology there is a crazy high instance of people who just spit out exactly what their favorite celebrity pastor says and immediate decide that it trumps whatever you are saying. Then they are unwilling to yield any bit of their position and get offended that you disagree.
disagreements do not need to be so divisive. The constant need for affirmation shows that you actually have no idea what you are talking about
"disagreements do not need to be divisive" is a great phrase.
At that point I don't engage with them because then it'll become an argument and not a discussion
