Would you defend a family member who is on the opposite side of the political isle as you if someone on your side of the isle went off on them?

[ManInChains]

For example, you and your cousin go out to a restaurant. You’re a liberal Democrat and they’re a conservative Republican. They’re wearing a shirt that says, “Straight, White, Conservative, Christian, Male. How else can I offend you today?” And someone, a complete stranger, comes up to you both and starts yelling at your cousin over the shirt. What do you do?

Yes, I’d defend them because they’re family

No, I would let them deal with it themself

[RebelinSteel]

Wearing a T shirt saying White Conservative Christian Male, very much shouts out he’s Gay, which is why the need to add straight, as anyone with that t shirt is shouting out how gay they are. Also anyone in the family wearing a political t shirt would be told to be fucking sensible and take the shit off or have it burnt. I have never really seen anyone have a fight over politics, not met anyone that stupid.

I’ve defended many people on the opposite side of the political sphere online so, yes I’d defend them irl too.

There were some commenters aggressively barking at a Conservative who supports Desantis (at the time) I defended them saying attacks are not welcome here. Though the supporter ended up attacking me so I typed “dude, I’m defending you” which then they stopped replying in general.

A stranger? I would say "only i yell at my family" Nd "stop harassing us".

I would not defend the idea but i would interfere with harasser.

But yeah people who wear "maga hats " get flack from harassment by democrats.

[NamerOfStars]

Well, I'd defend them because I was liberal, to which racism and sexism are antithetical. If the Democrat party has abandoned those ideals (which it has), then that's a change in their party, not a change in liberalism.

You break it, you bought it. I'll just order another drink and watch the show!

[Dongie]

No to the tenth degree

[msc545]

Let the adult handle it herself.

[dudegreat91]

No they should be able to defend their position
