orrk@lemmy.world 10 months agofuck civility politics, if some “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” is calling for more bullshit, call them out on it.
no one remembers the “nice guys” in politics because they never accomplished anything.

I don’t disagree with you, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m saying in normal civilian life, talking with friends and family, it has long been considered taboo to discuss politics at all. Treating friends and family with respect is just an important part of fostering healthy relationships. Public officials, pundits, and celebrities don’t require the same level of civility, because I don’t expect to have a personal relationship with those people.

like you don’t have some uncle that goes on about how Biden stole the election, or how taxation is theft
