Ignoring someone who openly supports a moron who tried to undermine democracy isn’t “classless”, it’s a rational boundary.
Besides, let’s not pretend Trump supporters are simply people with differing opinions. Polls and studies consistently show that Donald Trump’s base is fueled by grievances tied to race, gender, and authoritarian leanings, not policies or principles. So no, I don’t feel obligated to entertain light conversation with someone who made that choice. If they’re comfortable supporting bigotry, they can handle being ignored. Period.
And frankly, I couldn’t care less how that makes me look — not in front of filth.

Exactly! I try to explain to people that this is not just a difference of opinion like I want cheese pizza and you want pepperoni. These people are literally making laws that hurt people I love and also risking women’s lives. I have no desire to interact with a Tdump supporter unless I absolutely have to. F them !
