There is a lot of information missing. I am in no way saying that she deserved such treatment, but I agree that I’m not entirely sure what she expected either.

I’m assuming that the woman was neither conservative nor an agitator. Based on this statement she seems just like someone who went there in good faith potentially expecting open conversation.

“I’m an engaged community member and I often sit at (discussion) tables with people that have many points of view. I work hard to try to bridge the gaps and I have big worries these days about where we’re heading, particularly with what’s going on south of the border.”

I understand that there’s more civility north of the border. Regardless, that was a conservative meeting featuring Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Canadian conservative party who regularly kisses Trump’s ass.

People really, really need to learn that you cannot have open dialogue with conservatives. It doesn’t matter what country they’re from, how polite they might seem, or their position on the conservative scale, the agenda is ultimately the same. Spend your energy on meaningfully opposing them, rather than gratifying them with these impossible attempts at communication.
