And they are openly Trump voters. And I just can’t wrap my mind around it. They don’t strike me as stupid either.

We just avoid the topic entirely but I will never look at them the same. It was one thing in 2016. But this time around I just can’t get past it.


It's ok, when they die, they will leave it to the socialists to care for their son and not give it another thought.

Sorry, we have no interest in being tolerant of child rapist. However, the world recognizes that the political right are very much tolerant of pedophiles, rapist, racist people. They are all welcome into your tribe.


It’s also true that democrats are pro human trafficking via open borders. Two sides, same coin.


Not really because democrats never believed in open boarders. That is more right wing BS.

We are not talking different thoughts. This isn’t Pepsi versus Coke. This is human decency versus hatred.

False. Democrats are in favor of better immigration policy, to make visas more widely and easily available for sectors where they are actually needed (ag, etc) without screwing over trained American workers in sectors like STEM. But thanks for proving yet again that conservatives lack understanding of nuance and critical thinking.

Yes! That’s exactly why Trump was such good friends with Epstein. Trump didn’t dump a close friend just because that friend had different ideas.

I have decided I am also going to remove people who support medicalized youth gender transition. The evidence of harm to the most vulnerable children is simply too great, and just like the horrific family separations, I can’t be friends with people who advocate for hurting children.


So pretty much no one in your second paragraph. Have you ever actually met any such person?


I wondered the same thing when I read that.

The communication problem in this country is that we are flooded with toxic disinformation and hyperbolic demagoguery and most of it is coming from the right wing.
