Just pondering and wondering

Your opinion.

Someone might remember my saying I'm too different people here. I've made it no secret I'm displeased with the condition of our country and on those forums I can be cordial or down right boligarant. This is where most of the intolerant blocking on both sides occur.

On the other side, my true favorite, is the humorous and life situation serious forums. There are even some completely political apposed and we get along fine when laughable subjects agree. I think this is as it should be when political beliefs seem to be the only separation.

In your self opinion can you get along with folks given the same situation in your real life and online.

Example of my real life. I once had a coworker, elder then me, I got along with fine and we discussed many life things including his military days. But if I wanted to push his buttons all I had to say was Clinton is a used car salesman and nothing more and he would explode LOL. So we'd have the senseless argument for an hour then go out to lunch. The animosity didn't stick in those days.
No doubt you've heard of the Hollywood director Frank Capra? He of the corny, uplifting movies such as Mr Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life? I bet you didn't know the man was a staunch conservative republican who despised FDR but revered the strongmen Franco and Mussolini.
The guy was also an informant for the FBI during the McCarthy era.

@rinkydinkydoink Not going to let politics break up our acquaintance.
@Gibbon

Thank you. I feel the same.
I just find it amusing when people very friendly with me at the same time, not knowing my political leanings, are busy classifying those on my side of the political fence as everything negative under the sun. Something about that equation just doesn’t compute.

Maybe.. if they didn't try to preach it or force it on me. There wouldn't be much use in wasting discussion since it would be futile.

But I hear you, animosity is hugely prevalent now, over little to nothing it would seem.

I thought you taught me a new word 😔 did you mean belligerent?

@Ohbabe Yes. My new Samsung really sucks predicting words and even gets spelling wrong. My old Nokia was 90% perfect and seldom did me wrong.
