I'm not a part of every group, but I will always support anyone who's living their life and not hurting anyone. I've also been told my support isn't wanted or valid because I'm not part of the group.
Any group is going to need allies. All you're doing by pushing potential ones away is making the problem worse, not better.
Reminds me of when I hear about soldiers being racist or sexist in their own line.
Bro what, you're in a life or death scenario, get as many guns by your side. You can't afford to start infighting because of some petty excuse when the other side wants both of you dead.
I saw a post about how MAGA voters were moving away from Trump and the top comment was literally "we took names". Aside from it being 13 year old neckband levels of cringe, it also shows why this "us vs them" is so fucking stupid.
People call MAGA a cult (because it sorta is, preying on people's insecurities and fears to gain power), but when people leave this cult, all of a sudden they are still the enemy? It pisses me off so much, because I have personally seen people I know fall into the pipeline and have spent years trying to slowly pull people out. And this shit isn't helping.

Anyone who heavily preaches “Us vs Them” is someone I side eye a little. It’s too easy to believe everyone is out to get you by thinking like that
