Conservatives in general. Utterly without fail, I’m immediately repelled, uncanny valley style, whenever I accidentally trip into a conversation with one.
Pray tell, what are they conserving except “shit for myself”.
Pure jibbering, full-bodied, eyes wide, fear. Masked (poorly) by hatred, and xenophobia. Never resting. Always fearful, always cynical; always a new enemy just around the corner.
Sure, we don’t see eye to eye on a lot of politics, but we do have a lot of common ground. Even get into arguments now and again. But we always end up seeing things a little different and then telling some jokes about each other’s parties after.
Immediately writing someone off because of a political view of a great way to get into an echo chamber.
Depends, some of us happen to belong to minorities that the conservative right are actively working to oppress, and that’s not really something one can tolerate.
It’d be one thing if it was a disagreement about what colour to paint the new children’s hospital.
But when they want ethnics in shit jobs for shit pay, queers dead, and AFAB barefoot and pregnant - they can fuck right off.
You’re either privileged enougb to not belong to a minority your friend is actively voting to destroy or extremely forgiving. Either way, good for you.
Every single trump voter is morally reprehensible. Fucking traitors.

A medieval world view, near as I can tell.

That’s the vibe I get anyway.
I’m left, and one of my best friends is right.
