    I avoid it like the plague. Only a few people know my stance and as far as I am aware of its only people that interact with me outside of the internet. I’m not looking to change my mind and others aren’t either. Changing one person to my thinking won’t change anything and me changing to someone else’s thinking won’t change anything.

    I generally refrain from discussing politics anywhere I’m trying to have a good time. People are really bad at discussing political topics without getting all riled up. It’s exactly the same as religious topics, people get weirdly combatant. I find it much easier to have a good time if you just keep that stuff to yourself as much as possible.

      Understatement of the century, lol. And social media’s influence has only exacerbated the overall polarization/radicalization, making civil discussion in that area feel like even more of a pipe dream as time goes on.

      Same. Politics isn’t my whole identity and I like to take a break from it sometimes.
