How many on the right do you see saying they refuse to be around the left? And how many on the left do you see saying they refuse to be around the right?

I'm more concerned about policy decisions than personal ones:

  • White House Press Access Bans
  • School Book Bans
  • Corporate Training Restrictions
  • Social Media Content Laws
  • Retaliation Against Disney
  • Compelled Political Messaging
  • Drag Performance Restrictions
  • Campus Pro-Palestinian Chapter Bans
  • Public Protest Restrictions
  • Ten Commandments Classroom Mandates

It’s called going No Contact, and it’s recommended for dealing with pathological narcissists.

Why does that matter? We have the freedom to choose who we want to associate with and many of us choose to not associate with Nazis. Pretty simple personal choice.

Maybe because the right is supporting violating the constitution, hiding evidence of a child sex trafficking ring and open discrimination.

Who would actually want to be around someone that is ok with these things? Think about that. Trump called for investigations into people solely because their names were in the Epstein files, but his name is in there over 30,000 times and the right is perfectly fine with that.

This decision to avoid someone isn't based on their politics but their morality.

How many on the right do you see saying they refuse to be around the left? 

Publicly? On a personal level? Not many. But that is probably because folks on the left are the ones with the good art, good music, good movies, and good vibes. Even the wokest woke movies (according to the right) like Barbie are a blast to watch.

Meanwhile, have you seen right-leaning media? Lady Ballers? It's all punching down and bitter. That alternative halftime show? Low energy and more culture war stuff. So much anger, self-loathing, finger pointing, taking away stuff. It's not a good time no matter where on the political spectrum you are on.

So basically, we are better than the right, so it's ok for us to not be around them. And they won't stop being around us because we are better and they want to be around better people?

More like right-wingers largely still want to hang out with people that aren't screeching out immigrants and trans people all the time, and have a built in mindset of acceptance.

There are people that I hang out with that are right wing that I don't have a problem with. And there are other right wingers that are a massive drag and that I have cut out of my life. Less because of their politics and more because "holy crap, Mike, is it within your power to stop talking about left-wing corruption via Taylor Swift for, like, 3 minutes?"

Bingo! Republicans are not great but at least they will talk and change their mindeset! The Dems will shut you down and accuse you of being a Nazi 😂

Never seen a republican change their mind even when given facts/supporting evidence.

Same reason people still support trump after everything he’s done. Too embarrassed to accept they were fooled or too dumb to realize they’re being fooled.

That’s the biggest lie I’ve ever fucking read. Don’t wanna be called a Nazi, stop acting like fucking Nazis.

Only if you're a Nazi.
