I don't know about you but I need help knowing how to explain to people who are not necessarily MAGA or supporters

Of the piece of shit, but they believe the division in the country is from the left because we say things like masks and vaccines are good and racism is bad.

They don’t necessarily disagree with those statements they just see it as us dividing the country by making those points.

Obviously this is absurd but you would be shocked by how many people out there are like this, and I know I need help figuring out how to deal with this, I’ll bet others do as well.

Who just don’t want to be labeled maga but have the same talking points. They are beyond redemption because they are not honest about their religion.

...it's oftentimes less about the message and more about the delivery.

is probably racist. But you probably can't tell them that. They are more interested in the veneer of Peace over the reality of Justice.
You can't explain it to them. You hold up a mirror, and whether they face it or break it is on them.

When Republicans say masks and vaccines are bad and white men deserve more than the rest of us, why isn't that divisive?
