Your definition of “far” seems to be “people who want to kill you for what you are”. But others’ definition of “far” is “people who disagree with you and vote against your cause”. Those are not the same. And conflating the two only exacerbates the division.

Ok. Lesson learned. When someone tries to kill me, if they lose the fight and need medical attention, I’ll leave them on the street.
At least then I won’t be viewed as inhumane.
largely non-violent
No offense intended, but deliberately placing yourself in the vicinity of potentially violent protests is also deliberately subjecting yourself to a certain amount of risk.
I will not be voting for any person who does not support Ukraine, even if it means straying from my normal political views.
I hate to sound cynical but when I read the replies here, I see more close mindedness that won’t do anything to affect change. You can’t change a culture if you’re so hateful or resentful that you refuse to engage.
My opinion is that if you’re not picking up the hammer and building the bridge, then you’re part of the problem.
That’s my experience as a once hyper conservative whose perspective only changed because someone approached me with respect and engaged me to change my perspective.
But it’s clear that many here don’t want to be true agents for change, but prefer to inflame division. You will never change a culture through hatred. You’ll only cause them to “dig in”.
But y’all keep doing you and post your hate so you can your upvotes.
