You are either an American or not. If you even consider any Republican viable get out of my life. I have zero tolerance for that utter stupidity. Yes, judging church goers who claim to be oh so morally superior while they scream kill Fauci and stand with the likes of MTG>
I am Jewish by the way. I lived in an ultra orthodox Jewish Cummunity til I was ten. Then in a only Catholic area so much so that on the way to elementary school and junior high on ash wednesday I went into the church with my friends so they could get their ashes. My mother after age 10 gave us Christmas presidents and Hanukah because she was afraid we would be ostrazied. The Priests & Nuns knew my family well.
I will never ever speak to those so called friends who have joined the cult again Jewish or Catholic. I always over looked they were still townies never went to college, their racist comments, and antisemitism I experienced from their parents as a child. I thought my generation would be a better generation.
But dam if I will over look their hate now. My bad.
I am very lucky I got to leave both places. Have an excellent life, love my diverse intelligent friends.

We do some stuff with parents from our kids school who are not AA (barely any of them are) and keep in touch with a few people from our various walks of life who are not AA. Most of the people in my social circle grew up UMC so we’ve always been around people who aren’t AA but this is how things ended up.

Fauchi is a Catholic Church goer and teaches at a Catholic college and Trump was the one who rolled out the Covid Vaccines. Biden is also a church goer.
The republicans who fourth in WWII saved the Jews not the liberals home smoking pot

Adding: As I read this thread, and think about our friend groups beyond the STEM, we are somewhat diverse on a few things. Faiths - UU, several Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Jewish and non-religious. They run the gamut of faith based lives to culturally the faith of their parents, to adamantly non-religious. For whatever reason, we know many mixed faith and mixed ethnicity couples- mostly white American married to: AA, North African, Central American, Cuban, American Chinese, Iranian, Jordanian - mainly made from our kids schools and other activities and our neighborhood. The friends that we have kept from my DH’s employment at an NGO are from all over the world.Anonymous wrote:Yes, as it has worked out, we seem to mainly socialize with STEM oriented folk who lean liberal. Not all, but most of our friend group fall into those categories.Anonymous wrote:I mean, of course all of us have a few diverse friends.
But in general is most of your socializing with people who are similar to you?

Agree 100% and it shows how deluded many people are.
NP. A lot of people socialize out of convenience with co-workers, bosses, neighbors, cousins, the parents of their children's friends, etc. If you’re a decent, inclusive person, they’re often not “your own kind.”
