Great post.
I liked Teja and Emily, total opposite views but both decent people that because of the world we are living in will never be friends.
I feel bad for getting dragged into it, it just p1sses me off. You're right most people can get along but there are a very vocal growing minority on both sides that are absolutely delusional and full of hate. Social media is a major cause.
What annoys me with the far left is they talk about how they hate hatred and excluding people but then do the exact same thing.
Anyway thanks for your post it helped
