    People don’t want to discuss because rational, reasonable takes on politics are met with vitriol and anger. Those attacking don’t actually want a discussion, they want to insult and feel morally superior.

    I talk politics with those I’ve felt out first, who can come up against ideas they don’t agree with and are willing to keep it as a discussion rather than an emotional, shit-slinging argument.

    Just because people don’t want to discuss politics with YOU doesn’t mean they don’t discuss it with others, and no, not just with people they agree with.
