I do see I replied to you as you were the OP based on the comment. My bad. I’ll tolerate others in work and public but I’m not going to go to the movies or keep my mouth shut on their wrongs. Hell my ex’s parents voted for trump all 3 times and we have still helped each other out, we have a kid together so I still see them sometimes. I still have to go against them when they tried to indoctrinate her with shame filled Catholicism. I don’t call them good people as they would judge queer people. If they ran for office I would rally against them.
Hell I did say, finally, when mtg came out against trump for the Epstein stuff but I wouldn’t have anything to do with her since she still is a toxic bigiot.
I’m not trying to shut you up. I just think people are messy, and unless we think they’re so ideologically locked-in that there’s no point, let’s at least smile at people when they have a good point, even if their overall situation isn’t looking good. I’ve been pretty disappointed with John Cleese’s politics, but he’s not wrong in this moment and I’d like to think he’s not totally cut off from feedback that isn’t biased in the opposite direction. If you’ll pardon the multiple negative.
I would love if being nice to them would make them see reason, hell that one guy gets kkk members to renounce their ways is a gift. I don’t trust or give people the time of day when they spout conservative beliefs as they will use that to make their hateful views seem normal.
I do wish more leftist politicians would run as people think we need to court the centrists but where a leftist run they do well without trying to coddle conservatives.
My head is in the same place with regard to leftism. I really wish more people had the smarts and resilience to talk down conservatives who are still reachable by sane discourses. It’s hypocritical of me though, given how many people I see as essentially in a death cult. At this point the best I can do most days is be real, keep a playful tone, and stop talking when I don’t have anything constructive to say.
