Does anyone still believe in this? Seems like this was how the western world behaved for generations post WWII and then sort of gave up on it in the 10-15 years.

Do you experience political polarization like we do in the US?

I tried to meet up with Bammer a couple of times but he hates libtards so it never worked out. So, he's lying.
Also i have to deal with Trag everyday. My brother in law is a marine from rural illinois who voted for Trum* the first time around. We get into heavy discussions all the time and he's the best.
Id love to hang with Burt someday.
However, in all honesty, im probably not going to befriend a full on MagaMoron.

I’m in TN. I have to. Most of my family and a good portion of Mrs Wease’s family are full-on MAGA. I’ve got a cousin that paints his barn (it’s a huge fucking barn) periodically to reflect whatever motto MAGA has embraced at that time.
So, co-exist? Yes. Engage in thoughtful, provoking political conversation? No.

Probably even more. Argentina actually went through a right wing military dictatorship that many still pine for. And in the age of Milei...
To answer the OP I don't see people in terms of sides and I have several friends I disagree with on a number of issues all across the political spectrum. There are extremes I won't break bread with for reasons of moral conscience (think: actual nazis) but many of my friends and family are people I love with whom I disagree politically.

How you treat others is I think something I'll judge you on more harshly. If we disagree on the tenets of socialized education, OK. But if we're out and you are cruel to waitstaff I'm probably not hitting you up for a hang any time soon

Jorge knocks it out of the park here.
Philosophical debates about X tax policy topic, OK whatever.
