The Generation Lab/Axios poll is 100% true.
They found, by a long shot, that college-aged Democrats are more likely to not associate with Republicans in any form or fashion.
But I thought it was the Republicans who wanted to divide everyone! I thought it was the Republicans who judged and hated people who do not align with their views.
We all know the truth: Democrats are elitists who cannot stand a diversity of anything, but especially the diversity of thought.
Women are more likely than men to take a strong partisan stance in their personal choices.
- 41% of women would go on a date with someone who voted for the opposing candidate, compared to 67% of men.
- 76% of women would work for someone who voted for the other candidate, vs. 86% of men.
- Just 68% of women — compared to 84% of men — would shop at or support the business of someone of the other party.
Get back to the kitchen!
But apparently, these people think that “matters of identity” are at stake: abortion, gay rights, immigration, etc. Like it’s so bad that they cannot tolerate (see what I did there?) your different view on policy.
You all know my story. I was a ragey far-leftist until 2008. Now I’m a hardcore libertarian who despises authority. I *litrally* rage against the machine. (If you want the details about my conversion send me a message. I don’t talk about the specifics of my personal life. The important thing is I am no longer a leftist!)
When I was a leftist I noticed a lot of my friends did not like to associate with the non-leftists. I preferred not to, but I didn’t go out of my way. But oh man. I witnessed the discrimination. I saw friends surf dating sites and specifically filter out Republicans. They talked about their Republican fraternity brothers and sorority sisters. (That eventually stopped around me because I would slap them down.)
Then I changed. I lost so many friends. Family members stopped talking to me. It’s so gross.
