    Most right-leaning individuals are not racist homophobic dick-wads, they’re not waving the confederate flag, and they don’t want to vote for Trump or Desantis or whatever degenerate asshole is up on that podium next.

    That has not been the impression they give me when I’ve had disagreements with the right wing people who I know. If you bring up any of the horrible shit the people they support do, they’ll just shrug and say “well, I can’t vote for x, they’re a Democrat. It’s not really a big deal anyways”

    I’m also curious what you think racism is. I know a lot of racist Democrats, too.

    Go out there and meet some people. We’re all humans and it would be a lot easier to solve our problems if we were in this together.

    I think this is naive. That sentiment is collectivistic. Right wing politics is vehemetly individualistic. They’d just call you a communist and ignore anything you’d have to say. They don’t want to solve problems, they want only their problems to be solved.
