Tim miller, who I disagree with often, said "we're all liberals now" & he's right. Either youre pro regime or youre against them and whether you came here via never trumping or leninist beliefs is absolutely irrelevant to the ppl on the other side because far as they care, everyone else is one side

I'm not a fan but I get why it happens.
Dividing ourselves because of our differences makes us an easier target.
That is how far things have shifted.
But I've learned some fascinating things about my politics, as a liberal. I've learned that I believe cops just need sensitivity training, and they'll be fine.
Anyone who argues against materially making others and my own lives better in favor of some nebulous magical revolution gets a polite nod. Holds 0 interest for me.
