    You sound like the kind of person who would blame 80’s gay men for getting aids.

    MAGAs are awful people, their defenders are no better.

      I think it’s more important to get along with the people I talk to and interact with every day, than to go to bat for my political team. You should too.

          Yeah they need to hear it too. Which political party is vote for is pretty far down the list of how i see myself. It’s not important to my identity.

            If a good portion of your politics is centered around who you vote for then you’re probably reasonably represented by some of the powers that be. Speaking for myself a lot of familial political friction comes from how far outside electoralism my needs are.

              There will always be people on the fringes of political representation, regardless of what politics and policy looks like at that time and in that place. Sacrificing personal relationships is a huge personal sacrifice for a team who claims to better represent your interests, particularly when that might not even be true. Politicians think nothing of using your own anger to gather power for themselves. Your discontent and misery is a tool for them. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be involved, but be careful how far you are willing to go because it will ultimately make you less happy to pursue things that are largely outside your control, especially if that also includes huge sacrifices.

            You sound like a white straight man with financial means. I can sense me own.

            The difference between you and I is that I give a shit, strongly so about people outside of my narrow socioeconomic window and would never claim someone’s lived experience is because they are doing it wrong.
