I have friends and family all over the political spectrum. Not one of them has ever hated on me for my sexuality or personal beliefs and I even know some crazy maga ppl.

I just hate all the name calling, the baiting and the pettiness this brings from all sides of politics.

Being happy a firefighter is dead and calling him a nazi because he was a trump supporter…. It’s just gross and tells me a lot about you as a person

I always wonder how many of these people who just look for a reason to hate on republicans/democrats have ever actually been to America and experienced what it’s truly like, not just what the media feeds you

I remember being so nervous to move to the south of America because of all the **** I heard. It turned out to be the friendliest place I had ever lived. They had a pride parade yearly and where I lived in the UK didn’t even celebrate it yet. I met amazing people of all races, backgrounds, political alignments etc and honestly, the only really crazy stuff I hear is from people on the internet

A great post Ninastar imo.

And you make a great point about sometimes your experience with a place doesn't always match with the stories that you hear about.

Like for example in Birmingham we have an area called Erdington, that let's just say is known for it's stabbings (similar to Nechells,) but every time I went to Erdington I had a great time, admittedly I haven't been there for a long time, so maybe it's different now.
