Don’t date conservatives, don’t sleep with them, don’t befriend them, don’t associate with them, being MAGA should result in your total ostracization. Unless you’re in a situation where you have to, where cutting ties or ending the relationship/friendship will make you unsafe or put your livelihood or your home life at risk, you should cut them off. I cut ties with a lot of old friends who became conservatives. It’s not a normal tolerable thing to be conservative. No one who believes the things they do should be tolerated. Their beliefs should, at the least, come at the cost of their relationships and friendships.

Conservatives do not respect human rights and human dignity. They do not believe that men and women are equal, that rich and poor are equal, or that black people and white people are equal. They’ll make a facade of tolerant behavior that immediately crumbles under any scrutiny to show their bigotry. These bigots have governed every conceivable aspect of our lives for far too long.

Cut ties with a friend when he said the Jan 6 terrorists were justified. He lost a lot of friends then. Like literally every mutual friend of ours was done with him after that.

Well said!

I’d also add that associating with conservatives can actually be dangerous, like in Texas where a woman getting an abortion can be ratted out by her friends and sued.

Or in Tennessee where getting a minor trans healthcare without their parents knowledge and consent means said parents can sue you.

In my life the only people who have stolen from me were all conservatives. Ironic given how obsessed they all are with their own property and “the law”.

That’s because what they’re really obsessed with is ‘rules for thee but not for me’.

They really believe success and happiness are only for those they deem worthy of it.

Maybe republicans just hate people.

Jon waters summed it up nicely:

“If you go home with someone and and they dont have books, dont fuck them.”

What if you get all of your books from the local library? Should I flash my library card as a turn on?

I know people that would be receptive to a tasteful library card.

This is pretty outdated. Physical books aren’t the only way to get information or read stories any more.

It’s not a literal statement. It’s about a mindset. “Having books” is shorthand for “curious, open, erudite.”

Hes saying dont fuck people that lack the above qualities, because it ain’t worth it.

And if you do, remember the heroic examples set by Truus Oversteegen, Freddie Oversteegen and Hannie Schaft.

Don’t date conservatives, …, don’t associate with them, being MAGA should result in your total ostracization.

The closest I ever got to this with family was when I invited my folks to a semi-fancy wine and cheese kinda place and my stepdad showed up wearing an “LGBT - Liberty, Guns, Beer and Trump” t-shirt. But he was never very politically coherent - he literally complained about “socialized medicine” when they were debating the ACA during the Obama admin while sitting in a hospital bed filling out the paperwork to apply for medicare. He spent his last few years angrily bitching about immigrants, despite being a German immigrant and also bitching about any time he had to supply his citizenship paperwork in any context as though the very idea he ever had to prove his citizenship was offensive.
