I am for nearly all of this, but i do not believe in the rule of law. I didn’t believe in it way before trump. I suffer the rule of law because i cant change it. And the second i think i could i would. Which is different to why i don’t commit crime mind you, which has nothing to do with how the us practices law.

Do people really think you shouldn’t cut ties with, say, someone who votes for an overt neo-Nazi, or an overt “overthrow the system and nationalize all assets” tankie?

One of these things is not like the other.

I've known people whose individual politics were so insufferable that it caused other people to stop hanging out with them. Was it the communists? No. They were widely accepted, weirdly enough even among the conservatives. It was the aggressive academic leftists talking about feminism / ableism / words you're not allowed to say / and so on. They were like some kind of MAGA caricature of the left, come to life in living color.

I think it's because the communists never ordered anyone else to obey their ideology or else officially be a bad person. They just were communists, and everyone else could do their thing, too.

Your point is right, though. Neither of those are on the same level as someone who supports deporting the neighbors and bomb threats to the polling station even after it starts happening in the real world.
