    i really wanna ask some questions, genuinely in good faith as it seems you may misunderstand how politics affects real peoples lives.

    would you respect them if they were racist, just not around you?

    would you respect them if they were queerphobic, just not around you?

    would you respect them if they voted for, and supported, politicians willing and ready to take away your rights or the rights of others?

    why would you want to interact with someone who disagrees with peoples rights to live?

    this is assuming you are a member of some minority (queer, of color, etc.) if you arent, then i guess i understand.

      This is a revamping of the meme about gay people that was complaining about looking colorful, caring about LGBTQ rights, mentioning their partners in conversation the same way straight people do, and maybe having a lisp? It’s thankfully been a long time since I saw it.

      You’re right, but I don’t think the OP actually means it, they’re just trying to flip the script on conservatives. I’m not the OP though, so I could be wrong
