I'm a conservative libertarian. You're a liberal (Democrat). We don't and won't see eye to eye. We do and will have different values and different understandings of basic reality, too. I will sit and listen to you (for a bit, anyway), while you will lecture to me regarding:
"Love is love."
Anthony Fauci is a saint.
How you "follow the science."
Abortion access is healthcare.
The government knows better how to spend your money than you do.
Less rich people are entitled to richer people's property via the violence-backed power of the state (through taxation) because this is "socially" just.
I will laugh -- either immediately or eventually, and will in turn will tell you:
Tautologies are always correct statements.
Anthony Fauci was very good at directing funds for gain of function research to the Wuhan Virology Lab, which just so happened to be located in the same city as where the pandemic was first dictated.
Please tell me, with your liberal arts degree, all about "the science."
Tell that to the infant.
How lucky am I that I have third parties to take care of me by preventing me from making my own choices in life.
Adding a word onto "justice" gives the game away about how this is anything but just.
We will fight. In exasperation, we will fuck. We will repeat this cycle many times. Sometimes we will just skip the first part and go straight to fucking, but sometimes we will need to remind ourselves of how crazy the other person actually is, so we can fuck some sanity back into them.
