    This is a double edged sword. I know a number of people who are in more right wing communities but are more left themselves that try to stay out of politics, as well.

      What kind of right wing communities are worthy of setting aside one’s own morals in order to belong?

            It’s not easy to speak up among monsters. I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss people on lack of courage grounds only.

            Yeah I don’t agree with all out avoidance myself but I can see why some people whose family or community is hard right maga would not be able to safely debate these topics in all aspects of their life.

              Maybe not in all aspects of their life, but if they avoid it in every aspect, then there needs to be a reckoning within themselves. If you are quiet in the face of injustice, you are cosigning and supporting the injustice.

          I don’t think they’re worthy of setting aside one’s own morals in order to belong though.
