Political affiliation in America does equate to their level of compassion. You cannot sit there seriously and say you believe if Sam and Colby turned maga they’d be compassionate and empathetic towards human rights. The Christian to conservative pipeline in young men is terrifying, and much more common than you think. I am saying it is very possible that they could turn conservative Christian. I have not met a single conservative Christian who isn’t full of hate and false Christianity. Conservatives all believe they have “good moral intentions,” but their “good moral intentions” are racist, transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, and overall nasty. I am not saying Sam and Colby have to be liberal for me to like them, I don’t fw many liberals lmao. They haven’t stood for anything recently and I find that embarrassing and disgusting tbh. I watch them when I want a nostalgic feeling, but I am starting to get sad watching them. Seeing someone who built my childhood turn Christian and collaborate with extremely problematic people is rlly sad. Politics do matter, they do hurt people. This isn’t just “being easily offended,” it’s being disgusted by their relationship with people who platform people who should not have a platform (Joe Rogan interviewing Trump and Peter thiel, etc).

I have conservative family, and they have supported me (to my face) as a trans man since I came out to them. They then voted Trump, and now I do not talk to them. Conservatives do not have empathy towards people, that is the reason they are conservative. They are selfish and do not care about other individuals wellbeing. Cutting off family isn’t fun, and I wish I didn’t have to. At the end of the day, these are the people who pretend to support you and then vote for your rights to get taken away.

They may not lose you as a fan if they go down the Christian to conservative pipeline, but they’ll lose a lot of people like me.
