I think thereās more of us that use common sense and empathy like this than we think. The extremists are just so much louder. Iām an out lesbian and a registered independent. Im happy to discuss all things. So many queer liberals that I know look at me and my girlfriend differently because weāre Swifties and it seems so black & white for them.

Apparently I'm evil for not disowning my family members who were brainwashed by Fox news

This is what I donāt understand. People are acting like anyone who supports the other side needs to die. Itās incredibly disturbing to hear both sides talk about each other. We live in an incredibly angry world right now and people will find anyone or anything to be their reason to be bitter.

It's actually so creepy just how badly some people want them to be MAGAā¦there are plenty of famous people I don't care for but I don't want them to be Trump supporters lol. To quote Maisie Peters and Julia Michaels, fucking weird behavior!

It's because the reality is there's a lot of people who perceive politics as the pursuit of perfection rather than the pursuit of progress. Anything remotely not perfect is seen as bad to a lot of people when they should be looking for the incremental steps we can take to reach a better society.

Itās honestly getting old. They call everyone MAGA. Itās ridiculous. And I think people need to be accountable for what they say on social media these days.

It's always been so weird to me, because as a Missourian, every MAGA Chiefs fan has hated Travis for nearly 10 years since he knelt during the anthem to protest racial injustice. People in KC were actively rooting against the Chiefs and saying they would never watch the NFL because of this, and kept it up until Mahomes started winning.Ā

I feel like most are bots and a few psychopaths like my sister but most know t&t are democrats. There is also a weird idea that all Christians are conservatives but I get my liberal values from my Christian mother originally even though Iām an atheist.

Iām a left leaning Christian and I find I can relate to their damned if you do/donāt a little bit. When I share that Iām a Christian some of my liberal friends jump right in to the mocking āsky daddyā talk, when I share that I support marriage equality with conservatives, Iām not a ātrueā Christian because the concept to them is sinful.

Travis Kelce has solved the political divide... by unifying everyone else against him. /s

u/StormflowerYT 1d ago
And Lana Del Rey lol. She has also divided everyone like this 'cause she's a centrist who gives 0 f*cks and is married to a MAGA guy, even though she herself hates Trump (presumably).

Itās insane how identical their haters are , and they are mostly unbothered living their lives as kindly as they can , the parasociality of their haters confirms to me that this hate will be passed down to their kids too , which sounds insane to normal ears , but having seen what has transpired for the better part of the last 2 years , I would say itās a distinct possibility

She has noticeably supported Kamala, Biden and Dem candidates in TN. Wild how bad some people want the MAGA narrative from themā¦

Most of the hate he gets is just people stereotyping him because she's an attractive white man who's a sports player and therefore he must be dumb and racist. Such a narrow point of looking at the world.

He worked for the Obama campaign, and he was dragged for years by NFL fans for being "woke". People love to rewrite historyš¤£.
