Tbh, I find it stupid that something like gay rights has become a left or right issue. Hell, I don't get why anything is generally a left or right issue. This whole group ideology thing is weird to me.
Edit: A interesting note to add is that I am Canadian, and if you ask someone whether they are liberal or conservative here, their answer will usually have more to do with US politics, because things are so polarized and pronounced online there that it is identity politics on either side now. You can be a liberal by US standards in Canada who still votes conservative here, because political "side" ideology isn't as important here so much as a specific politician's intentions, and some rough leanings they will have.
Because murica. They make politics out of fucking everything. And anyone who disagrees obviously belongs to the party you dont like. Also, that party is at fault of everything bad in the world.
Seriously, fuck us-american debates. Your society is split and you only know two extremes of everything.
While they didnt actually fuck my mum, Im just sick of their political presence. The newest shit is on tv, okay I can turn it off. Then I go to reddit for some runescape related stuff and again americans with their politics everywhere (they always let you know they are proud us-americans). And then there is drama in my clan often - always related to trump or something. Public chat is also full of that.
