That’s the thing though. Even discussing “reality” has become political.

If some one said that to me I would say how is that different from calling someone a niqqer? (I swapped the q’s for g’s so not the offend anyone.)
You do say that , as a disparaging descriptive term, don’t you? Are you lumping me an individual whose thoughts or knowledge has some thing to do with my race(color) ?

A very good friends' husband announced as he set down to eat...;'There will be no political conversations in My house at dinner. If you can't follow that, let me show you the door now.'

Continuing to prove that the people who tell me my worldview is flawed are batshit crazy. Clinically diagnosed even.

When I commented on inflation (I didn’t start the topic. I just labeled it what it was.) they started out with derogatory comments about Trump and MAGA. I’m no Trump fan boy.
