When your politics are bigotry, it isn’t a matter of “disagreeing with them.”

When your politics are anti-democracy and pro-fascism, it isn’t a matter of “disagreeing with them.”

Politics aren’t detached from real life, they aren’t some hypothetical. They have real consequences, and they represent real values.

Now I know where you stand. You follow every conservative talking point 100%.

You are playing the “I am taking a nuanced view, you’re just a sheep following popular opinion” card while you yourself are just doing the exact same thing on the other side with no nuance at all. You and I are at worst no different from each other in our belief systems.

Scott Adams was a Trumper, therefore you support him.

JK Rowling is anti-trans, which is the right wing party line, therefore you support her.

Good talk. You know where you stand, I know where I stand.

You’re treating disagreement as evidence of moral failure, then using that to retroactively justify the label. That’s not reasoning — it’s tribal sorting. You must exist in quite a bubble, a rapidly shrinking one.

You can't dismiss other people's assessment of your politics just because they are different from yours. That makes no sense.

You have the causality backwards. Your moral stance is abhorrent, therefore I disagree with you and want nothing to do with you. Not the other way around.

My moral stance is abhorrent to about 7% of the population who the other 93% want nothing to do with.

I'll get over it.

You've been listening to too much Fox News and Trump Truth Social posts if you think 93% of the population is bigoted racists.

You're making my point for me.

No, 93% of the population want nothing to do with extreme left wing socialist mob politics.
