This is where I'm at. It's like, I either vote for people like this, or those who pander to them at the very least, or I vote for people who seem to hate the working poor and affordable healthcare for some ungodly reason. I just... don't understand how those who appear to be on the right side of so many issues are so blatantly wrong on other ones.

This is why we shouldn't have political parties. Systems like this inherently shame nuanced thinking. I've even caught myself questioning whether I must be crazy because the only ones who seem to agree with me on the woke stuff are religious zealots, and I think I'm a fairly independent thinker compared to most.

Exactly. I vote for the people who help the poor; they fuck over other minorities with woke shit and are blatantly anti-science. I vote for the people who go against woke shit, they hate the poor, different minority groups, and are anti-science in a different way.

I relate to leftists when they talk about healthcare and universal income, disability equality and abolishing capitalist, work-driven society. But then they start talking gender and weird social justice, which alienates me and seems so oddly nonsensical compared to their other good ideas. And I relate with right leaning people on topics like social justice, LGBT, etc, I find out they're not actually hateful in that area but just think SJWism is stupid and prioritize "fact over feelings"... but then they are very much against ideas that benefit everybody, like affordable healthcare, and/or they get needlessly emotional and unscientific over something like believing some ethnicities are inherently more violent than another, or make up wild conspiracy theories.

And same here! I've been criticized a lot for seeming to side with religious types, but the sad truth is they're one of the only people saying the logical stuff. Pride isn't for kids. Making sexuality an adult topic is not "homophobia." Etcetc.
