    Why bother?

    If you didn’t cut the “fuck your feelings” crowd out 8 years ago, that’s on you.

      Not all GOP people are MAGA. Some of them are into low taxes, religion or guns. We risk some variation of civil war if we lump all of those people together. Try to see them as human.

        At this point I respectfully disagree. I would have given credence to this argument until roughly January 7th 2021.

        I mean I still see them as human. I’ll ever let go of that. That why I hate those I hate; they’re willing to dehumanize.

        But, that’s why I just divest and distance. Most of em are struggling hard and I’m feeling like my peak is yet in sight so… Idk 🤷🏼‍♀️

          Did the entire party storm the capital? You’re no better than Trump when it comes to prejudice.

              Some of them did. It’s not fair to treat any group as a monolith.

              And feel free, coward.

                  You’re afraid to have a discussion with them. You’re afraid to have a discussion with me. People are going to disagree sometimes, and that’s ok. The path of the coward is to cut people out forever.

                    If 10 people sit at a table with 1 Nazi then there are 11 Nazis at the table.

                    Nobody who would vote for a Republican is allowed to disclaim Jan6th. They can only claim to be voting for Republicans despite that event or because of it.

                    I’ll happily argue with Republicans 'til the cows come home, but they don’t like arguing with me because I refuse to treat them with anything less than the contempt they deserve.
