I know Lemmy or any online space loves to see everything in black and white. From my experience, people are a lot more complicated than that. I’ve lived in both extremely rural areas and big cities. I’ve met good and honest people that were conservative and left leaning people that acted like toxic shitheads. Politics are important and it’s good to have values, but in certain relationships it’s best to just not hyper focus on it so much. Solidarity with fellow working class people is more important than agreeing on absolutely every single issue.
I don’t care how “good and honest” a conservative is when they support people that want to see my trans and gay friends and family eradicated from the public and shoved into the shadows.
Okay, that’s your prerogative. My only point is if you’re trying to organize working people, you’re going to realize pretty fast not all of them think exactly like you do.

It’s why I don’t want to organize them and just want to see conservative supporters of all types drop dead like they wish upon those I care about.
