    That is true. But I think in today’s political climate, it is fair to conflate people’s political affiliation with the extremes of the party. Like “fiscally responsible republicans”, you can’t run away from the other bigoted policies of republicans. Same with democrats and things like immigration and supplying arms to Israel.

    It’s a hard landscape to navigate, now probably more than ever.

      True, but that goes both ways, what with the casual support of genocide.

      If anything, people should be looking at their parties, and either vacating or getting involved to make change, depending on how salvageable they think it is.
