Its seemingly becoming more difficult for people to except that it is possible to simply have different political goals and perspectives than the dogmas of Amerikan discourse and civil religion currate. I think it is difficult for people to accept that they too have specific political goals and sensibilities, that they have chosen a side instead of being an embodiment of some kind of innate or universal sense of morality.
Idk how to deal with this other than to walk on eggshells everywhere I go and appear as stoic and “rational” as possible when I have to explain myself. Yet it still is easy for people to dismiss me for X view when their own views are demonstrably incoherent at best, and shallow sanctamony at worst.
