30 point gap? Is that some kind of “stupid libertarian” joke?

Thats the kind of shit I’m used to from “progressives”.

I want to be understood and seen as a person but I’m really questioning whether its worth trying anymore.

Ive had this conversation enough times I know how it goes.

I’ll point out how Obama and Biden both expanded executive power, setting precedent for Trump to exploit.

You’ll either flatly deny it or try to make me prove it then bad faith nitpick until I go away.

I’ll point out how pressuring Facebook and using OSHA to push the covid vaccine was a massive federal overreach and You’ll accuse me of being anti-science.

You might point out that Trump is just as bad like its a gotcha but I fucking hate him too so it doesn’t work.

I’ll complain about progressives being against freedom of speech and you’ll smirk and say “What speech?” Because obviously the only reason someone would be concerned about the government dictating what you can and cant say is that they want to yell slurs at their neighbor.

Around this point you’ll call me either racist, sexist or homophobic. Or maybe class traitor. Thats always a fun one.

Or you’ll figure out I’m not straight and im only white when progressives don’t like what I have to say and you’ll decide im a race traitor too.

So yea I dont have a lot of patience with having this discussion anymore.
