Its funny with a title like that for me to say honestly i don't really care THAT much about politics nor do i follow it closely
But i basically oppose racism, bigotry, homophobia etc. I believe in the golden rule, do onto others as you would have them do unto you. Basically be a good person.
I didn't vote for Trump, nor Hilary as i thought both were garbage.
Yet, since i defend against discrimination of white straight males i am no better than Trump or his "supporters" according to my now ex GF. Which in itself is funny, my stepdad is not racist in the least, but happens to be a straight white male Trump supporter...I myself disagree with his support of Trump, but it ends there. I don't attack his character simply based on that because in every day normal life he's a decent human.
Sam Harris like him or not ( i do like him) wrote an article about racial profiling which caused a bunch of controversy.
I tend to think he was using logic in his reasoning, but i can for sure see why people would have disagreed with him

BUT, in a fabebook group i am part of someone more or less said "Harris is a white privileged male and should shut his mouth"
To which i asked the person to specifically show me examples of Harris's racism, while at the same time asking why its okay to say you won't listen to someone simply due to the fact they are a "white male"
My girlfriend in typical sjw fashion jumped in to attack me (she does it often) while offering no insight or useful information. Basically calling me racist for sticking up for a white man.
It was the last straw for me, she literally got so triggered watching a Ben Shapiro Thug Life video (only about 30 seconds) that she left my house and drove home (she lives over an hour away from me and was supposed to stay the night)
I enjoy debate, I'm stupid and wrong on a lot of shit, so...prove me wrong, don't fucking virtue signal when i was trying to have a real debate with someone who said something i found absurd.
She believes in white privilege but thinks it only applies to men....
I knew she had views like this prior to dating, but she had literally told me she was trying to be more open minded, which obviously was a lie.
Have any of you lost friends or relationships over political disagreement?
I don't care she disagreed with me on things, its that she adamantly attacked white men as if the only evil in the world was created by them.
I hate the left now like is this really what it has become? No logical disagreement or discussion? Just attacking white men and privilege wtf.
I disagree with Shapiro on a ton of shit, but i don't label him as a racist bigot because of that. ffs
