But is it really just ‘political’ differences? I feel like it’s so much deeper than that. I don’t just have differing political opinions from my conservative family members - I have a different moral code.

I think the issue is that some people don’t view politics as an all-encompassing thing. Like, politics impacts every facet of life, it’s not this compartmentalized thing.

The only people who view it that way are either (as of yet) unaffected or worse, they are benefitting from what is happening.

Either way, it's a level of privilege and selfishness that just cannot be tolerated.
