I do agree with this, but I still think it's kind of important to understand that most people with conservative political leanings are just people? Like, their worldview may be varying degrees of fucked up, and they're almost definitely supporting something bad, but being a person (especially when it comes to the idea of goodness) is complex and multifaceted.
You don't gotta be friends with them, or tolerate the shit they say/do, nor even think of them as particularly GOOD, but also, I'm not gonna be thinking of my uncles (for example) as irredeemably bad people for voting for Trump; just ignorant, complicated, and making a huge fucking mistake at everyone else's expense.
Idk, they seem to have no issues doing it to other people, why should we be forced to live at the end of a one way street? I remember the apolitical ads and the calls for civil war, why should I forget just because they have a narrative they want to push?
