They are super vocal about their beliefs and they have to show it off to everyone around them. You just can't get through a 10 minutes conversations with them without them getting into one of their talking points. It doesn't matter if you are a new acquaintance or a long time friend. They just have to complain about something that's political. I have met so many of them that I explicitly say I don't want to get into political discussions with them and most of them just never abide.
