    I unfortunately agree with you, I have come to view conservatives as cancer, and I don’t mean it as a pure insult. I mean it a literally as you can apply it to them. Like cancer cells they become selfish and refuse to help the greater oganism among other analogies you could apply

    Sadly I can’t shake these thoughts, time and time again they show me I’m right in my thinking, granted this is a generation.

    I have even gotten so fed up with my conservative friends that I actively avoid them. Sad I know

      I don’t really have conservative friends anymore. And I think, on an intellectual level at least, that that’s a shame, because we really ought to be talking to each other.

      But there are non-negotiable issues that preclude the possibility of friendship now. You can’t be my friend if you think my son shouldn’t be allowed to use men’s bathrooms, or my daughter shouldn’t be allowed to marry who she wants to. You can’t be my friend if you think we should talk about the positive side of slavery in school. You can’t be my friend if fundamental scientific facts are matters of opinion to you.

      And that’s fucking sad.
