[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I can only imagine how relieved so many millions of people must be to have their angry liberal relatives[/b] cut them off and not have anything to do with them.

Yes, there’s the sad matter of grandchildren not seen growing up, but as those children mature, they will come to resent their parents for keeping them from them and denying them such a crucial piece of childhood. They will not forget this.

But on balance, this is a net positive for regular normies everywhere, as they are freed from the burden of dealing with the angry scold liberals they have the misfortune of being related to.

You’re all doing the right thing. Cut them off. [/quote]

Have you ever been to a Pride event? Drag brunch? Women’s march? Experienced what it feels like to not hate your immigrant neighbors? Been part of a peaceful chalk the walk protest? Do you know how freeing it is to not just blindly buy into archaic beliefs about religion, marriage, and economics? To feel passionate about social injustices and helping others?

I grew up in a red state thinking I was conservative for years and I know first hand that living life paranoid that immigrants, trans people, etc. are out to take things from you is an exhausting way to live. And surrounding yourself with angry conservative men who base their ideas of masculinity on ridiculous charicatures and quote idiots like Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, etc. is draining. Also there is a reason Grindr blows up at Republican conventions. So many of these men are repressed and angry.

I’ve become increasingly liberal over the past decade and it’s so much more fun caring about others and not just buying into the garbage that churches and billionaires shill to control the masses.[/quote]

You don't even see it, do you.

You: not hating group X, but hating group Y instead[/quote]

I don’t hate “Group Y.” I hate their hatred and horrific treatment of other people.

Refusing to tolerate intolerance doesn’t make me hateful. [/quote]

DP. Kinda does, actually.

Or maybe it’s your overt scorn for my brown, church-going, LMC in-laws who voted for Trump. (I didn’t).[/quote]

With respect (NP), you don't get to tell other people how they feel. Pointing out bigotry and that certain people are voting against their interests is not hate. It's not scorn. Don't be silly.

I get that you feel defensive. But the reason why is not what others think of you, it's that you know your positions are bigoted and hateful. And you don't like that pointed out to you.[/quote]
