I don’t like polarized politics, it’s just the reality. The mainstream right are fascists who reject science, reason, and ethics, so of course I feel the need to take a hard stance against it. You don’t get to will an unpolarized world into existence when calls for genocide are a common phenomenon.

I spend an inordinate amount of time listening to the right, but what i find more important than listening to them is seeing the effects of their policies. A right winger can talk all they want about trying to create a better America using good Christian values, but if the policies and politicians they support are discriminatory or terrible for everyone, their words don’t mean shit.

Anti-abortion advocates claim to oppose bodily autonomy for the sake of the potential children, but they consistently oppose policies that help those children once they’re born. Anti-Trans advocates also claim to be protecting children, but their policies are terrible for trans and cis people alike. Republicans claim to care about the budget, but always balloon the national debt through tax cuts on the rich while Democrats sometimes even lower the debt. The right claim to be better for the economy, while their policies basically always worsen the lives of almost everyone through externalities and increased inequality.

I look at fucking reality when considering opposing views, and the right’s arguments are rarely supported by reality. Right wingers aren’t tolerated here because they’re intolerant assholes who base their entire worldviews on lies.
