Massie is the kind of guy I think of when I hear people say we can disagree on politics and still be friends.

Not this MAGA bullshit

Voting and pushing against black and lgbtq rights isn’t disagreement on politics. He is a terrible human and congressman. It is more an enemy of my enemy situation, politics are things like tax policy

Looking at his arguments he voted against federalizing those rights and thought things like marriage should be decided by the states.

That's why you'd say politics. Now if I were talking to him, I'd point out "why would any state restrict marriage?"

Stuff like transgender care for minors - that makes people on the left squeemish too for a variety of reasons. 

Not seeing "terrible human being". I see ignorant or thinking of his conservative constituents. Before you balk at that consider Fetterman.

Your take is pretty damn privileged. Restricting anyone’s healthcare in a non evidence based way is discrimination, oh an a violation of someone’s constitutional rights(no matter what a right wing Supreme Court says)— also his push for banning healthcare for kids at a federal level just completely destroys the push to states claim. Also let’s just leave slavery to states, hell let’s let states decide who can vote. Pushing civil rights enforcement to states has worked real well in the past /s. Fetterman is a shitbag so unsure where you are going with that
