I do not throw my hat in with the idea that conservatives are easy to disagree/debate with while progressives are not. I certainly know conservatives in real life who are particularly opinionated and stubborn in their views, and with whom I would have a difficult time validating my position.
I know my saying so is anecdotal, but I suspect the whole argument either way is.
Pretty much this, the article’s thesis has not been my experience at all.
I actually couldn’t even make it through the whole thing, some of the things they’re saying are pretty off base and definitely opinionated (you would think an article like this should be neutral).
