@smokex288 how do you justify being friends with someone who feels its ok to mistreat others due to the color of their skin?

Who said anything about skin color? Are you racist?

Liberals will say no. They love tearing our nation apart.

there is a very good reason why liberals wouldnt befriend trumpers, and that is because many trumpers are very racist.

imagine youre a liberal guy and you go see the Super Bowl with a trumper friend and this friend goes and yells build da wall!! Or ur bringing drugs!!!! Ur bringing crime!! To someone just because he is Hispanic

One of my best friends leans in a different direction than I do politically. That's never been what our friendship is based on (and to be fair, his views don't lean towards being racist or anti-LGBTQ or anything like that, either).

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

No, the reason they got more extreme is because Mr "build the wall" got into office, despite all of the bullshit he was spewing. There was a huge uptick after that.

And I don't care about trying to "challenge" them. They see all of the extremely hateful things the GOP is doing and saying and still choose to identify with them. I don't think anything I say will change their mind at that point.

Every opposing viewpoint is a conversation away from becoming an ally. They are also only an insult away from becoming an enemy.

I think we should choose wisely.

Not many left leaning people are willing to debate or "challenge" right wingers because you guys literally live in an alternate reality, where you make up "alternate facts" (a term coined by your party) because real facts don't match up to your opinions. And you cling to those lies and falsehoods so hard your knuckles turn white.

I'm not going to waste any more time trying to convince someone that the sky is actually blue and not purple with pink polka dots. I'm just going to wait for enough other people to see the swivel-eyed lunacy and vote en masse against you, (just like 2020 and 2022, two other times you didn't learn the lesson right in front of you)

MAGA chuds consider being LGBTQ and supportive of LGBTQ people to be "tearing the country apart". Their idea of unity is homogenity.

Yeah. "You refuse to have a conversation with me" really means "You refuse to agree with my made-up bullshit that I will not move from no matter how much you try"

If they cared about the country, they wouldnt be voting republican. They are literally destroying this country. They are the ones putting this country in debt and every single time they get power, they put us in a recession that a democrat has to fix.

Depends what you mean by opposing politics.

Do we disagree on what the tax percentage should be? Do we disagree on constitutional law interpretation? On the death penalty? Or are they someone who thinks homosexuals are "groomers"?

The answer is obviously different on what you actually mean by politics
