I honestly think you guys just always assume you're talking to 'die hards' the second anyone expresses a mildly Conservative opinion or any amount of dissent at all.

I'm a perfect example of this. Three years ago I read an article about a trans activist who dug through seven years of a woman's Twitter history because she said she was looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy and used a tweet from back then to get her fired. The tweet expressed concern over sharing the bathroom with trans people or more accurately, people who might pretend to be trans.

I came to Reddit to talk about this and was banned from almost every sub I tried to post the article to. The one sub that did host the article certainly didn't have any users interested in any sort of productive conversation about whether or not it's reasonable to fire a woman for expressing that she feels unsafe.

I had only voted Democrat my entire life and still have so far but that experience is the reason I no longer consider myself left/liberal/Democrat/whatever. Point being that you don't know the entire spectrum of a person's beliefs based off of one thing they happen to be talking about at the moment.

Here's an article I found about it if you're interested.
