That's 100% fair, I'm not going to discuss it except wishing everyone all the best with what happens. And I personally separate one's political views from their identity and who I see them as. I think that's half (well, more than half) the trouble and why it's so divisive, is we create an identity out of it and also see others as "being" that political view rather than simply having it. It's funny how we're always taught to avoid talking politics, religion etc, instead of being taught how to discuss it civilly.

I mean, to some degree our views do reflect something within us of course, but it ain't everything, and I'd say barely a sliver of what I look at, which is the whole human being and looking at their heart.

Hoping you stick around brother
