that’s weird, they tell me that they are leftists and that if I disagree with them at all them I’m not a leftist.
Then they lecture me about how privileged I am and I should just shut up and listen to them because my any thoughts or opinions of my own are automatically wrong because they come from a position of privileged rather than oppression. And I point out I grew up working class from a low income family. Then they tell me to go fuck myself how dare I even talk to them since I’m clearly a MAGA supporter if I am working class, and I shouldn’t have been allowed to go to college because clearly I’m so stupid for not being a ‘real leftist’ like them.
maybe try to organise a directory of local businesses/services/shared resources etc without discussing politics at all, if it’s something that gets people in your locality upset.
if your area has to deal with some extreme weather & gets flooded, for example, ensuring that everyone can stay fed & have access to medical care will be a lot easier if the groundwork has already been done in advance.

then i’m sorry that you’ve had that experience.
