like i know this nerdy chick who's obsessed with anime and games, has a very diverse friend-group, has dated non-white people, isn't rich or heavily invested in the current economic system...

total trumper. thinks biden is a flat-out marxist communist. thinks BLM is a death cult. thinks covid vaccines are a hoax.

how does this all even square up? i don't get it. how do you live your life like that but then come to those political conclusions/beliefs?

Yeah I don't see how that invalidates her being a Trumper.

Why? Progressive insures all kind of drivers. And now you can bundle your home, auto, and boat insurance into one easy payment, regardless of political affiliation.

I dunno, this would not suggest anti-Trump to me at all. Consider the subcultures that are very easy to find yourself in when those are your tastes.

This. How old is she, TC?

I had sort of the same situation back in the 2000s. After I got out of highschool I started being more critical of the "conservative" values my family had pushed for ages. Ironically, it was Christian values that made me critical of the values of my christian household. (Stuff like love thy neighbor is kind of hard to reconcile with being a legalistic dick. And being saved "not of works" , and constantly praying to God for help kind of clashes with the "bootstraps" mentality)

No. We must make more connections between the anime community and Trump.

Being progressive refers to having certain political views. Having blacks friends is not an indication of being progressive. Even racists can have black friends - racism isn't exactly rational.

We should strive to create a world of love and compassion. It may take a lot of time and effort, but it can be done.

i guess i just can't relate to having your parents have that much of an impact on your beliefs. i was raised by somewhat conservative religious parents and passively progressed to being a center-left atheist by the time i was out of high school. i think a big part of that shift was seeing the reaction on the right to obama's first election and finding it completely absurd (funny how quaint it seems compared to the shit that's happened since), but i guess if i were the type to adopt my parents' beliefs wholesale that wouldn't have happened?

it wasn't a rebellious thing either, my parents liked obama and i lived in a liberal area, so it wasn't like i was getting back at people around me
