Whoa, dude. You've outdone yourself at a whole new level with these words...which I've read over a few times and am now back upon my haunches in awe and wonder...
"Sometimes authoritarian actions can be in our best interest, especially if we are relatively old souls that have forgotten the purity of our original God given creation."
Where 'o where to begin... Oh my...
Nevada, *relatively old souls* do, yes, often have soulgrowth bottlenecks regarding one or two of their most challenging issues, that's a truth...which'd be why they're still here... But humans don't tend to attain *older* stages of soulgrowth while still acting out their issues' unconscious emotions *onto others or into the world in general*... Soulgrowth at older levels almost always involves issues that've turned *inward* within the human psyche, rage and pain turned back onto themselves...*causing them to often treat others far better than they're able to live and enact self-care*...
It's younger/adolescent souls who haven't yet gotten it under their experiential belts that *treating others poorly will always come back onto them in difficult ways*... And going through that relentlessly and repeatedly until unbearable circumstances are generated by their having done so naturally compel them to stop, and begin to see their fellow humans as equals within their considerations...thus honoring ALL of God's creation...is the only way that is learned...
And, no. The way the Divine arranges for the soulgrowth of these younger souls to relentlessly mirror back to them that acting out their unconscious rage and terror, (and its resulting need to dominate others) will comprise nothing more than their Undoing *far more perfectly* than anything any "authoritarian action" enacted by political humans could ever begin to dream of...

Nevada would suggest all political parties currently politically active at this time have their good moments as well as some particularly difficult issues at this time in our history, especially the current democratic and republican parties who are engaged in some rather dangerous and disrespectful practices...
...random acts of fascism among them.
Since almost everyone has some blame in this rather ubiquitous national pursuit, we need to focus on positive and sincere approaches to solve this potentially national and world destroying issue.
Pretending that "nevada' is the problem is pretty much a dead end approach to a clearly universal global issue.
Working together to effect a positive approach that recognizes both our weaknesses and our strengths as well as our admission that we are all in this together and not by accident, may better lead us out of the forest than trying to lay the blame anywhere than not also on OURSELVES, all of us, individually.
Nevada certainly is not "perfect", but I came to this life to become more perfect, and devote much of my life to helping others reach that goal as well.
Isn't that part of the reason all of us are really here?
I came here as your friend, not your nemesis...
...even my lizard friends recognize and respect that simple truth.
The end game for all of us is spiritual growth and perfection...

As would become typical in later years, she declined interviews with Civil Beat and other local reporters before the election but explained her interest in veterans issues and the Middle East conflicts in written responses to questions.
That was the year she first met India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, promising him she’d push for an International Yoga Day. She’s since become one of his strongest allies, a relationship that has drawn her much criticism.
Her national celebrity status skyrocketing, Gabbard faced some bad press here at home later that year when she ditched out on a Senate field hearing being held in Honolulu that focused on the difficulties veterans were facing in getting health care, among other things. Instead of attending the hearing, which was chaired by Sen. Mazie Hirono, Gabbard went surfing with a videographer from Yahoo News who was filming her for a story.
...
In January 2017, as politicians were returning to Washington after a holiday break, Gabbard quietly traveled to Syria and Lebanon on what she would call a fact-finding mission. A Civil Beat reporter and photographer who had dropped by her congressional office to interview her about the start of the session discovered her absence and got staff to reveal where she’d gone. The staff then sent out a press release.
Returning a week later, Gabbard acknowledged meeting with Assad and was immediately pummeled by critics, including Civil Beat editorial writers, for a reckless and dangerous trip that did nothing to help the crisis in Syria.
Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin noted at the time, “Principled opposition to U.S. intervention in Syria is one thing. Becoming a tool of a mass murderer’s propaganda and influence campaign is another.”
Gabbard ultimately agreed to repay the federal treasury more than $9,000 for the trip.
But she continued to voice strong support for Assad, even expressing skepticism that a chemical attack that spring was carried out by Assad against his own people. Humanitarian organizations were outraged.
...
In February 2019, Gabbard formally launched her bid to become president of the United States. She did it standing on the lawn of a Waikiki hotel, surrounded by her parents and hundreds of supporters wearing blue and white T-shirts. She was 37 years old.
She soon went on the attack against fellow Democrats, including political rival Kamala Harris. She sued Google for $50 million for interfering with her campaign. Later, she also sued Hillary Clinton for $50 million for calling her “a Russian asset.”
As the year came to a close, Gabbard distanced herself even further from fellow Democrats. When House Democrats voted largely along party lines to impeach President Donald Trump, Gabbard was the only Democrat to vote “present” — basically abstaining from the vote.
...
“Tulsi Gabbard Reveals She’s Been Tulsi Gabbard The Whole Time,” read the headline to a piece by Civil Beat columnist Lee Cataluna in December 2020.
“But really, this is classic Gabbard,” Cataluna wrote. “She’s leaving Congress, dropping all pretenses, and leaning hard into the headline-grabbing crackpottery that has been her stock in trade all along.” Tulsi Gabbard with Tucker Carlson Fall 2021Tulsi Gabbard with Tucker Carlson in 2021. Her career post-Congress took her to the national TV network of Fox News as a commentator. (Screenshot/2021)
...
As Gabbard faded from day-to-day political life in Hawaii, reporters kept an eye on her emergence as a national political pundit, notably her work for Fox News as a commentator.
“Is Tulsi Gabbard Still A Democrat?” Civil Beat politics editor Chad Blair pondered in one column.
By 2022, Gabbard announced she was leaving the Democratic Party but didn’t say whether she would formally sign on with the Republicans or what. Her new book explains more but stopped short of embracing a party switch.
Earlier this year, she laid that question to rest. She joined the Republican Party in late October, just days before Trump won the election.

What is Conflict Resolution? The definition of conflict resolution refers to the process of finding a peaceful solution to a dispute. Therefore, it is beneficial for management and employees alike to know how to manage conflict at work through conflict resolution. Workplace conflict is destructive for business because it can lead to downturns in productivity and increases in absenteeism. In addition, on an individual level, workplace conflict is stressful and unpleasant.
Benefits of conflict resolutions:
Builds strong relationships Maintains morale Achieves goals Reduces stress Provides insight Improves retention 5 Conflict Resolution Skills in the Workplace Conflict resolution skills are often seen as leadership traits. Employees who can identify disagreements, acknowledge different opinions, and build a consensus are valuable to many organizations. They make it more likely for personal differences to be set aside so work can continue.
1. Communication and Conflict Resolution Good communication skills are essential for sharing and understanding information more accurately and quickly. Conversely, poor communication is often the leading cause of most misunderstandings and disputes.
Many effective communication strategies are the best strategies to prevent conflicts and reach resolutions, such as
Asking questions Cultivating empathy and compassion Using open body language Writing about the conflict For instance, managers may need a guide to managing difficult conversations remotely with direct reports they see only through telecommunication services.
2. Active Listening Active listening involves focusing on what the other person has to say, staying quiet as they speak, and listening to how they phrase things. It helps listeners hear and understand what someone else is saying, and it encourages the speaker to express themself clearly.
3. Empathy Empathy in the workplace supports professional relationships and prevents conflicts. It is the ability to relate to how other people feel based on personal experiences. Understanding feelings and having empathy help individuals work with colleagues to create a solution to the problem.
4. Managing Emotions Conflicts and tense conversations can stir up emotions. An argument or disagreement can feel like a threat or loss, triggering natural defense mechanisms like “fight or flight” responses. Emotions can interfere with an individual’s ability to maintain focus, reason, and resolve conflicts. Emotional management skills include self-awareness, reflection, perspective, and acceptance.
5. Nonviolent Communication Nonviolent communication (NVC) is not a technique to end disagreements but rather a method designed to increase empathy and improve the quality of life of those who utilize it and those around them. According to The Center of Nonviolent Communication, NVC is about connecting with others and recognizing our commonalities and differences.
How to Resolve Workplace Conflicts in 5 Steps 1. Identification of the Conflict Managers need to understand the root cause to resolve workplace issues. For example, determining whether the conflict is caused by a personality clash or a dispute over business ideas, decisions, or actions is essential.
Examples:
Employees who become upset during particular work- related issues are experiencing a business conflict. However, individuals still respect each other even if they are frustrated about others’ views. Conversely, the conflict is likely a personality clash if an individual gets angry or frustrated with another constantly. Workers engaged in these disputes may display anger out of proportion. Ignoring a problem can often cause it to worsen. Managers should address conflicts when they occur to head off what might become a volatile situation.
2. Assessment of the Conflict Defining the cause of the conflict will help management to understand how the issue grew in the first place. Both parties must agree on the issue and discuss meeting the needs.
Managers must obtain as much information as possible on each side’s outlook by asking questions until they are confident that all the conflicting parties understand the issue.
Example:
A manager diagnoses a conflict between two employees by asking, “What happened?” and “What would you like to happen?” Each tells their side of the disagreement, and the manager restates the problem to both parties. Sometimes, conflicts can be resolved just through facilitated, open dialogue.
3. Determining a Resolution Managers, mediators, and employees must decide on a favorable resolution for everyone involved. All parties should focus on the issue and prepare to compromise. Additionally, they need to put aside feelings, appreciate and value others’ different opinions, and listen to understand their point of view.
Example:
The manager sits with both parties to discuss common ways to resolve the matter and meet the company’s objectives. Then, they brainstorm and negotiate a compromise. Each party should provide an acknowledgment that the proposed solution is the best one possible. For a solution to be effective, each party must feel the solution is just and fair.
4. Implementation of the Resolution The Dual Concern Model is a powerful model developed by organizational psychologists to address conflicts. The steps are based on dimensions of empathy and assertiveness.
Examples:
Collaboration is the first step, and it involves high empathy and assertiveness to come to a solution. A collaborative question would be, “Would you be willing to work together to find a solution that helps both of us?” Compromise is used when each party needs to view the outcome fairly. For example, managers and mediators might ask, “Would you be willing to meet in the middle?” Competition can be a way to muscle through a conflict when there needs to be a swift resolution. For example, a manager could use a competitive question like, “Would you be willing to accept my solution?” if they believe their approach was best. Accommodation can quickly resolve an issue when something is less important to one party and more critical to another. An accommodation statement is, “I accept your request.” Avoidance may be an option if all parties agree to ignore or address it later. For example, a party may ask, “Would you be willing to wait and see if the situation resolves itself?” Managers and mediators must determine the best style for the situation. For instance, avoidance is usually the least effective practice, but it may be possible if a minor workplace conflict is likely to go away on its own.
5. Evaluation of the Resolution The last step is when a manager acknowledges and validates employees’ experience. The conflict will likely continue if both parties aren’t aligned.
Example:
The manager uses the competition style and asks each party if they accept their resolution. Then, the employees give their feedback on the decision. Managers must revisit their diagnosis or choose a new conflict style if they sense misalignment or pushback.
How to Give Feedback that Lands
5 Types of Conflict Resolution Strategies 1. Informal Resolution: An informal conflict resolution is an approach that allows the parties involved to stay in control of the process and settle it themselves. The success of this strategy depends on the good faith of all the parties involved and their willingness to resolve the conflict peacefully.
2. Formal Resolution: Employees may initiate formal resolution methods by filing a complaint or grievance when conflicts can’t be resolved through individual discussions. Steps in formal conflict management may include mediation or arbitration.
3. Mediation: Mediation involves a neutral third party to help disputants reach a consensus. The third-party does not impose a solution but encourages the parties to resolve their disagreements.
4. Arbitration: Arbitration resembles a court trial, with one or more neutral parties listening to evidence and deciding.
5. Collaborative Problem-Solving: Collaborative problem-solving involves individuals pooling their understanding and effort to resolve problems. It is a process of negotiation that crafts an outcome to which all participants can agree.
5 Ways Conflict Resolution Training and Development Can Help Managers Conflict resolution training and development can help managers quickly diagnose a conflict and gather the necessary information to resolve it.
1. Understanding Conflict and Its Causes The first step in conflict resolution training should be teaching managers to ask the right questions. Here are a few examples of questions managers should ask their direct reports to get to diagnose the conflict:
What’s going on? How are you feeling? What can I do for you? Managers trained to recognize and handle conflicts embrace a positive and assertive approach to finding resolutions. This experience and confidence can keep employees productive, content, and focused on business goals.
2. Building Conflict Resolution Skills Workplace conflicts are an inevitability. However, managers who develop and nurture conflict management skills through training can better handle disagreements and keep direct reports on track.
Managing conflict requires interpersonal skills and an understanding of conflict management techniques. Employees and managers can learn and apply a wide array of conflict resolution skills, depending on the type of conflict they find themselves in.
3. Enhancing Communication Skills It’s essential to have strong communication and active listening skills and stay engaged so disputants feel heard. Body language and other nonverbal cues are just as important as spoken words. For instance, managers must keep an open posture and stance and maintain eye contact during conflict management sessions to build rapport and trust.
Conflict resolution requires specific communication skills. However, even managers proficient at getting their point across can benefit from learning how to listen when emotions are tense.
4. Developing a Conflict Resolution Process A science-backed method helps people leaders resolve conflicts and issues on their teams. A conflict resolution process involves diagnosing the conflict, choosing a conflict style, and evaluating the results.
5. Implementing a Continuous Improvement Process When managed well, conflicts can be a tremendous tool to grow companies. Healthy conflict resolution implements changes that make businesses stronger. The key is to channel that conflict into productive avenues without driving a wedge between employees.
Workplaces reflect the varied culture of their end consumers to help better anticipate and meet their needs. However, cultural and philosophical differences can create workplace conflict. Successful conflict resolution alleviates temporary discords and ensures a harmonious and collaborative workplace. In addition, conflict resolution training for managers helps them manage relationships with their direct reports, peers, and stakeholders.
Additional Resources for Learning Leaders A fear of disputes can sabotage many opportunities in the workplace. Conflict resolution training gives managers and coworkers a straightforward process to provide constructive feedback in a way that doesn’t assign blame.
Training can improve communication and collaboration so employees are more productive. Some of Hone’s conflict management classes that can strengthen teams include:
Address Microaggressions on Your Team Transform Conflict into Collaboration Identify the Right Conflict Style Bridge Cultural Differences Across Your Organization Manager conflict resolution training helps individuals acquire the skills and knowledge needed to be effective. It can also include training on specific processes used in their organization so leadership is cohesive throughout.

It's obvious you care a lot about politics and religion. I don't personally have a problem about that, and like you, I also have something to say about it.
The larger problem is probably our inability to properly understand and communicate accurately with one another.
