    It’s my biggest gripe with political dialogue these days. People are extremely tribal and close themselves off from their neighbors, families, friends, over ideology, relying on their heavily curated bubble to inform them of what the other side is saying/doing.

    I try to call it out when I see it, but it feels like a losing battle. Your neighbors aren’t your enemy. Isolating ourselves only benefits the “ruling class”, or whatever we want to call it.

      It’s hilarious that literally minutes after your comment someone replied with, “BUT MY NEIGHBOR REALLY IS THE ENEMY!”

        Im not going to be friends with someone that calls me a fucking groomer because I am trans. Sorry that its so hard for you to understand that some people have skin in the game and can’t make marry with people that have actively caused harm to them.
