Just found out that a coworker that I would pal around with is kind of a white supremacist. Didn't ask him about anything political but out of nowhere he started saying things about Trump and immigrants that made me want to stop talking to him. Unfortunately he is my coworker so I can't exactly completely stop talking to him but I do avoid him when I can.
right wingers have to parrot whatever right wing propaganda on social media tells them, its such a conditioned response. they have to constantly parrot it to reaffirm thier beliefs, because even they are confused if they believe in it or not(is this right am i saying it correctly, of course they would never outright admit they are wrong).
And obviously left wingers never do that, we're all independent free thinkers and never punish deviation from our socially acceptable opinions or engage in performative politics
when i was college in a study group a random guy came up to us and started asking our opinion on goldiggers, and relationships, it was so cringe and out of the blue i dont know what to say, because he was trying to talk in the 3rd person, but we know its him hes talking about because he was extremely upset the whole time, even before we started talking to him he was acting very wierd, its was so inappropiate to ask random people about it, i did not respond, but one of our group members said something really quick so he would leave us alone.
Like the pro-trump Mexican owner of a carnitas taco stand in my town. He has always been vocally ignorant and small-minded, while fancying himself as oh-so-intelligent and politically savvy, but a year ago this was a whole new lower level of sewage that I did not see coming. So I give up, hasta nunca, baboso.
I am pretty good at shutting my brain off or switching it to another channel. As long as they keep yapping and don't ask questions I can spend the rest of the conversation with either my thoughts being the equivalent of tv white noise, or going the opposite direction and have the most focused thinking session of my life.

(Pseudo)intellectual asshole, not rich man.
I'm neither rich nor a man, and musk calls people NPC's, most tech bros say 'ngmi's

It's amazing how quickly the mask falls off when they think you're one of them.

Me when I'm watching a seemingly based yotuber until they use the term "radicalised" like a liberal.
