To this day whenever somebody gets overly political (on either side of the spectrum) I have a hard time remaining engaged or taking them seriously. The entire thing feels very stupid to me. I get that politics is important, but my experience from a very young age was that it's a lightning rod for negativity.
Its the same as the 'F### Trudeau' stickers on trucks or...do you remember that company that made disgusting stickers of Thunberg?

I dont have patience for that kind of crap. Stick to policies and ditch the personal bull####.

I have as much disdain for Trudeau as anyone else, but I'd never put his name on my car either positively or negatively.

It reminds me of that scene from Avengers: Infinity War when Thor learns that Gammorah is Thanos' daughter and everyone tenses like theres going to be a fight...and he just says: "Family can be tough."

"Politics can be tough."

Dont make it personal.
