Dude, I'm saying this as an African American...
Liberalism, Woke/Identity Politics are one of the worst things to happen to this country in the past decade or so...

I've dealt with more Racism and categorization from Left-Leaning (ex)"friends" than I ever did from some random Trump supporter or conservative.

I've legit had way more exclusion from my Liberal friends for not thinking like they do and even found myself screwed over by an ex friend, after I called her out for enabling her husband to make racist "13/50" jokes, by commenting "lol" whenever he did it...
She blocked me for asking her why she soapboxes so much for equal rights, BLM, but stops the buck at her racist breadwinner.

I don't fuck with Liberals anymore and I'm legit about to leave NYC for Denver, again...
Still blue, but NYC is a shithole and only has Liberal transplants and welfare dodgers who are taking advantage of "poor me" politics, in order to commit crimes and make black people look even worse.

Honestly nothing worse than a new York liberal. They say they right things but are the literal demons of society that have gotten us into our current socioeconomic issues

It's obnoxious, really...
Watched all of my homies go from relatively okay people in 2014, to getting caught up in all of the "Koolaid" and eventually straight up just finding any old reason to label and box each other.

Started with some friends worried about Trump and what would happen to illegal immigrants, next thing you know... I'm going to bars and people are lambasting me for being an Anarchist and not liking either Hillary OR Trump as candidates, shit only got worst from there.

The two downvotes from clowns is another sign of that.
Social Media has tricked people into thinking that consensus matters more than truth- which has been utilized by both sides, to no end.
Now, it doesn't matter who's right or wrong- people look at the number of folks in agreement.
This has led to sooo many stupid opinions and a fuckton of entitlement culture.

Our oligarchs have done an amazing job at dividing people up among party lines, racial lines, identity lines. People get all riled up over bullshit, while letting the wealthy get away with screwing us all economically.

Yep. Watching "accountability" become a virtue signal was one thing, but watching things get so bad in this country and that same word seem to not be mentioned, when it came time for Liberals to own up to their own fake shit was pretty much it for me.
I realized that this country is fucked from the inside, out.
It is what it is though... I'm out, lol.
