@BritishFailedAesthetic Sigh. Meta political questions should start with what you value and what you want in a society and work outwards from there.
I just reject the idea that the truth always lies in the centre as a logical fallacy. The Overton Window changes over time and is different in different countries.
Also, the modern polarisation of European and American politics is asymmetrical. There are also many in the political centre who engage rudely and refuse to compromise. Those hardcore People's Vote campaigners would be a classic British example.

@BritishFailedAesthetic There's centrist and "centrist"; virtually everyone minus the extremities of the political line have a more or less important component of centrism. The purpose of those menes isn't bashing centrism as a whole, but those who hide behind a fake pretense or centrism their sympathies for the far-right, appearing as "neutral" to an untrained eye. Be it not to lose friends, not to pass for a lunatic or even just to continue getting laid, anyone has their valid reasons. They're actually not really much centrists, hence the double quotes.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Yes and me and Cindy had a run in at the gym with one lady, 26 and swimming in debt. She was hot with model looks and a body to go with it. She said she wanted to model, do porn, wrestle, anything to make money. Cindy challenged her to a fight back at our studio. To our amazement she agreed. It went bad for Cindy but I was able to get our revenge. This woman, Stella, might make the grade, but not with us.
jeancolby · 31-35, F
@tallpowerhouseblonde Yes, very surprising, Stella knew what she was doing. We thought it was going to be a sure win for Cindy, she even invited her mom and our female doctor to watch. They don't approve of her fighting so it was a shock.

when those political views conflict with my freedoms, principles, ethics, faith, etc., Absolutely
blind ignorance is forgivable, some people just don't know enough to know any better (they can improve/be helped); complacent/blissful ignorance is not, I have no interest in people who want to be stupid (they'll always be stupid, and never even realize it)

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow My sister's family likes Trump because of his pro-life stance. I couldn't ignore everything about a person for one issue.

Not necessarily no. I expect good people to be all over the political map , they just come from a different perspective and it's not automatically a bad one or making them a bad person.
I only avoid extreme people like racists and transphobes who feel threatened by trans people, gay people, people who break from the Christian norm etc. Also extreme religious people who shove their truth in other people's throats, and extreme vegans.

It definitely can. Usually because you start to hear the views they have on serious issues and their beliefs. It can definitely change a friendship or relationship, even though you think it won't. The real shit starts to leak out these days.

The breaking point is when you can no longer have a civil discussion, because that individual does not accept truth and documented facts.
That is a show stopper and ender.

No I don’t let that interfere with what I think about them. We may share many other interests beyond that.
Now my beliefs have led to others changing their opinion of me. That I have no control over.

Their views themselves, no. However being overzealous and how they present themselves, absolutely can.
For the most part no as long as it's not some sort of extremist ideology.
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
Not unless it’s extreme . Most people I know are moderate Dems or moderate reps .

Yes and no, it gives me pause but I try to be fair.
