    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.

                    I would encourage you to be respectful regardless. No one will hear you if you are treating them with contempt.

                    Personally I think that low taxes and small government are valid perspectives. Unfortunately many Republicans are really only in favor of those things in theory, as long as they apply to liberal ideas. Regardless, I think it’s important to treat them as human, listen to their concerns and respectfully point out their hypocrisy when it happens. In the end, everyone is trying to do what is best for themselves and their families, and are only viewing problems and solutions through the echo chamber in which they take part. The way forward will involve listening, respect, and a bit of compromise.
