    I agree with the headline, even if only from personal experience, and I have worked and lived in over 5 states while having worked in over a dozen. I’ve lost friends and family to the “anti-woke” herd. as such, I’ve made the choice to go low/no contact with them. they’ve decided the rights they enjoy aren’t good enough for folks that don’t vote like them. the bigotry is everywhere it seems! I even quit a job because I wouldn’t tolerate the constant Trump/Jesus worship that management was forcing on staff. until a respect for Reason takes hold, I’m afraid this will only get worse.

      I can relate.

      A number of issues, not the least of which was my birther believing unironically that Obama was the Antichrist, led me to go no contact with my family for what will be an entire decade come this December.
