Politicizing: Has it gone too far?

[bill718]

A homeowner 2 houses away from me has stopped talking with his neighbor across the street because they agreed to have a Kamala Harris sign in their front yard.

One of my chess club friends won't play against another (equally skilled) member because he voted for Trump.

I watched a shopper at our local grocery store spit on a car in the parking lot because it had a bumper sticker supporting a local Democratic candidate for State Senate.

My Accountant traded her pick-up truck in for a Volvo station wagon because the truck reminds her of all those "brain dead, red neck, Republicans"

Has all of this gone too far? Yeah, I think so. It reminds me of all those juvenile cliques we experienced in school.

Thoughts?

It's their religion, but a terrible one. All of the judgment, none of the mercy and grace.

 

[Blaster]

I don't really care what other people think.

For far too many, politics have become their everything.

 

[ColonelAngus]

If you have other stuff in common and you like the person, just talk about other shit.

My best friend and former college roommate is a big time lefty these days…we had a talk in 2016 and decided to not talk politics. We talk about everything else on planet earth but politics. It is fine.

I have dated lefty chicks. More difficult. Especially the really devoted ones. A few years back I was dating a chick with a BLACK LIVES MATTER sticker on her car. She also said Ron DeSantis was a child sex trafficker.

That shit ended…and it ended ugly. She literally yelled at me and said she was too good for me ANYWAYS. PSYCHO chick. Consistent with her far left brand.

I turned a girl from left to right by simply showing her truth and facts. She went from BIG TIME Obama supporter to big time Trump supporter.

As long as you like the person at the core, ignore the politics.

A fellow teacher told me she was afraid she would snap at the kids because Trump "eliminated" the Dept of Ed.

True story

Also true story, I snort laughed at that

 

[Blaster]

I converted a left wing woman into a MAGA supporter after one night in bed.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Yesterday, I saw an older black man at the gym in a DARK MAGA hat. The black hat with white “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” lettering.

I caught his eye, pointed at my head, and gave him a thumbs up, he smiled and gave me a thumbs up back.

Shit was dope AF.

Probably mid 60s black dude with gray in his beard. I GUESS HE IS A RACIST NAZI!

The TDS and MDS lefties are mentally ill.

TDS AND MDS are contagious, transmissible through social media and TV.

It has, in all ways. People need to meet each and share a meal and talk and listen.

Good example. Coyote and I get along and we do not share the same politics.

 

[ColonelAngus]

There are fellow “libertarians” who post here who I think are jackasses and know nothing about being a libertarian.

Give me a sincere liberal over a fake libertarian who is really a libby.

 

[Blaster]

Who will be there to referee all the fist fights?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Good example. Coyote and I get along and we do not share the same politics.

That's because you are both morons! You have that in common.

 

[Missourian]

Talk about what?

We are so far apart we basically speak different languages.

People take positions not based on ideological belief, but based only on contrarianism.

Leftists argue AGAINST bringing manufacturing back to America and actively root for China.

Leftist attack Teslas that are the number one selling electric car, saving the environment. All because Elon is working to eliminate waste in government.

It's literally craziness.

Thoughts?

Of course. And far worse, it's cultural now, it's beyond politics. And it's coming from both ends and polluting everything in between. It's expanding far into the middle.

This continues as long as we refuse to fix our political system, and until enough brave souls in Congress say ENOUGH.

So are they going to ensure the $ saved goes to the states or will they stiff them? In the name of cutting the so called debt. We are going to find out.

 

[1srelluc]

Meh, I'm just glad I live in a place where dems are a rarity.

Sadly, ultra conservative Catholics have decided that my AO is a "destination" now and are trying to run things.

Their ramblings make me want to puke coat hangers and things are starting to come to a middle.

You can diffidently have too much of a "good thing".

 

[Missourian]

ENOUGH

Enough what?

Be specific Mac.

Enough on racist DEI programs?

Enough on wasteful spending for transgender operas in Columbia?

Enough of getting the shaft in international trade?

Enough on gutting American manufacturing?

Enough on biological men competing in women's sports?

Enough on sending hundreds of billions of dollars to support a war in a country on the other side of the planet that not .0001% of it's supporters would fight personally...while Americans in flood ravaged North Carolina might get a check for $500?

They've already said "enough" Mac.

That's what you oppose.

This is what happens when our media is so one sided and bent on dividing us that it becomes a form of brainwashing.

I still hold the morons who believe everything MSNBC dishes out as responsible for themselves.

How much COVID VAX BULLSHIT was pumped out by the Pharma paid media? Billions of dollars in free advertising for Pharma.

The vax was NOT SAFE AND EFFECTIVE, IVERMECTIN IS NOT HORSE PASTE.

The left wing pharmaceutical propped up media lied the entire time.
