[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

No, it doesn’t.  That’s stupid.  You are under no obligation to accept hate and intolerance. If anything we need less acceptance of it.

Being brown doesn’t exempt you from scorn if you make awful decisions.[/quote]

They neither hate nor are particularly intolerant (by mainstream, commonly-accepted definitions).

They’re remarkably kind, tolerant and community-minded people, whose politics I happen to vehemently disagree with.

Your categorization of them, OTOH, is inaccurate, intolerant and remarkably arrogant.[/quote]

Remarkably kind, tolerant, and community-minded people don't vote for politicians who run on a platform of dehumanizing political opponents, deporting immigrants, and are convicted sexual assaulters, tax cheats, and grifters.

They just don't. Sorry you haven't accepted that yet. It is jarring when we find out those we love are not as we expected them.[/quote]
