Rural/City divide. Rural people don't want more rules, they just want to be left alone. City people want more rules because they just want to be left alone.

I like the saying “Reality is that which remains AFTER you stop believing in it.”
A whole lotta MAGA disappears once you stop believing in it - bigotry, racism, fear, half of their worldview is imaginary b******t.
Healthcare, environment, human rights…still here even if you refuse to address it.

Israel is committing a g**ocide of the Palestinians in Gaza.

I don't know what to say to you if you don't think it's the case other than, look at the words the Israeli state has said.

A couple years ago my wife and I went to California. I was WFH at the time and she had an event so we made a long weekend of it. One of the people who came with us had a very specific opinion of California that came out every once in a while.

At some point we were on boardwalk enjoying a beautiful day and taking in the art. The guy was adamant about the "bums and crime" even though we were perfectly fine. In fact there were a number of homeless people around just hanging out some selling art. It was a very weird situation of me him pontificating and me just trying to get him to look around.

Once had a convo with republicans who, with sincerity, brought up schools letting kids identify as cats and having litter boxes in classrooms for them.

This is fake. It never happened. But they genuinely believe it is actively still happening.

Had a family friend who swore up and down that covid was simply a Democratic sham, made to control us. He got covid and d**d.

I need to go to bathroom in public sometimes and I don't think it needs to be a big deal.

Musk, not getting why the “left” was so mad at him, and him being confused and saying the left being the side of empathy.

My dad told me none of this matters to him because he's going to heaven.

Latest Jubilee episode, the guy who was absolutely beaming, beyond proud, to admit he wasn't simply Republican - he verbatim considers himself a f*****t. Then he received a round of applause from a significant portion of the 19 other "Republicans" present.

Anything about teachers, schools and education. Indoctrination, gender affirming care without parent permission, cat litter boxes, all of it. Public education is in trouble, but it’s largely the government and in turn the public that is causing it. As a special education teacher, I am so bound by law that it isn’t even funny. I’m not risking my career to bring my personal life into work.

The reality is that MAGAts are mad are capitalism, but their politics have told them to blame the left and minorities.

A very small and loud fraction of the population believe that me and the girls have systematically infiltrated every educational facility in order to turn children trans.

I had a Tea Party retired SMSgt try to tell me that the US military is a private, for profit organization that receives not one penny from the US government.

He was arguing for 15% across the board budget cuts when I mentioned the military. He made the claim in his desperation to protect the military budget from his own argument. But it was so divorced from reality - especially coming from a retired SMSgt - that it rendered me totally speechless.

when i said “everyone on this planet deserves shelter, heat, electricity, food and water,” i was called a communist. apparently socialism = communism to my family and that’s where i drew the line.

"Alternative facts." that's it. That's the whole example.

So many things. The general state of politics in the USA is that we have a huge group of people who only believe what their leader tells them and what their media feeds them ignores objective reality.

My father told me over Christmas my sisters and I were radicalised by going to college.

People who view the government as a peaceful and positive force for change instead of an entity with a monopoly on violence have been deluded by statist propaganda.

Gaza. The most well documented g**ocide campaign in modern history and yet so many cannot see it.
