    This is why I can’t be friends with conservatives of any degree. People always want to say “it’s just politics,” but it has gone beyond that for so fucking long that it’s not even a discussion I’m willing to have anymore.

      Agreed. Conservatives bring politics into every aspect of their life. You can’t have more than a few moments without them making some culture war comment.

        And they expect you to hold their beliefs or stay silent. If you express a contrary opinion, you are the one bringing politics into the discussion. It’s like playing chess with a pigeon.

        And by doing so, they force the rest of us to bring politics everywhere, or risk having everything that cooperative society has worked for undone. It’s really tiring to have the be eternally vigilant for bullshit that shouldn’t even be seriously considered.
