Comment on Adopting Inclusive and Non-Violent Language: Part 1 by E Broadbent

Hi
I’m part of a church group discussing ways to defuse political discourse with those we may disagree with – and we’re hoping to find examples of common language “trigger words” that immediately shut down connection and understanding. Many of us realize that as “progressives” living mostly in metropolitan areas, it’s too easy to feel that the gifts of education and our cultural sympathies end up causing a bit of a superiority complex which leads to condescension in our treatment of fellow citizens who we identify as “red-state”, Trump voters, etc.
Do you know of any discussions on this topic and maybe even lists such as the one above contrasting Inclusive with less-inclusive language?
Also… I noted that one of the links in the “Additional Resources” list seems incorrect:
“Using inclusive language Guidelines and examples” links to the home page for Rider University (https://www.rider.edu). If you know where I can find the intended article, I’d appreciate it.
Thanks very much!
