it's especially disappointing when I initially think they're pretty cool. I can't take anyone seriously when they unironically use "woke" as a negative descriptor

Ask them to define woke. They never can.
They could be the hottest woman on the planet and they're instantly ogre status the moment I find out they're conservatives. I don't care how cool/hot someone is. They're instantly ugly trash if they out themselves as conservative.
Just get up and walk away. That's what I do. Don't bother excusing yourself. Just walk off.
You aren't obligated to be polite to people who support billionaires/felons/rapists. They don't deserve to be spoken to.
Are we acting like this isn’t the case for 99.5% percentage of the western population?
This is what I assume is baseline, not sure why we need two whole minutes.
Either I would've shattered their beliefs already or just disappeared to let myself breathe non-toxic air.
Man, this happens so much to me because i work with a lot of random people. I never told anyone about my beliefs, world views or anything really. But for some reason everyone needs to tell me their theories without anyone asking.
Out of nowhere there is a: i'm not racist, but. Or: why do you drink your coffee black? Are you vegan? Did you know that cancer has only been a thing since human ate all that grain? I only eat meat because... Did you know corona is...
I'm so sick of this shit, why is it always the nutjobs that have to ve tge loudest?
A guy at my work is like this. He ended up being the only person I spoke to irl that actually went off on the bullshit immigrants-eating-cats-and-dogs thing that mango mussolini was screeching about a while back. Had another unasked-for immigrant conversation the other day when he butted in on my break time. Fucking hate people like this, I just want the guy to get the hint to shut the fuck up and leave me alone.
Don't fuck about:
"Your politics bore me" maintain eye contact, enjoy the uncomfortable silence.
