Ive had a large amount of people lately telling me about reaching across the aisle and "killing them with kindness" etc.
It's like why. These people have no interest in listening or engaging with us in a good faith way. We have to advocate for ourselves
The people who talk about kindness are centrists. They're the same people who want compromise between the left, who want rights and protections for citizens, and the right, who want to demonize and murder people. Do not tolerate centrists.
yeah, anyone trying any kind of "both sides make good points" argument these days is probably someone whose personal rights are not at stake.
100% this. My parents live in a red-ish county. They’re very liberal themselves but constantly go on about how lovely people are up there and how they’ll really help you when you need it
That’s all fine and dandy, but I’m sorry I can’t help but see them as people voting against my rights
