I need some centrist lib friends fr. I am stuck in idiot Texas and also have no one sane to talk about the election with. All my other centrist friends flipped MAGA. In hindsight I wish I talked politics more and didn’t let tech elites suck up all the air

In all honesty I kind of want to quit tech and quit everything. Tech is MAGA and it’s lonely. I don’t relate to how people create things or their intentions for them. The industry as a whole feels gross. When was the last time you saw any new tech actually help someone meaningfully? 

I don’t trust the stability of anything with schizo old man Trump and his band of lunatics and want to enjoy as much of the The Old as I can while The New struggles to be born.

I felt my choices this election were between corrupt and corrupt+stupid. Trump, Elon and RFK are all unfit to be empowered to this degree, especially with 0 checks and balances. I expect a lot of chaos and instability, with 0 self reflection from Democrats along the way.

They have a few crackhead diehards left that are learning nothing from this. It's depressing

I'm with you. The people that make up the two communities I identify with the strongest, Catholicism and Crypto typically do not align with me politically, (socially conservative but fiscal/foreign-policy liberal). Makes it hard to have good political discussions.

I stopped politic talk long ago because I couldn’t believe the things people were saying and it made me so angry and confused.  It’s helped me enjoy my life but like you i wonder if I should have had these conversations.

I guess it’s partially because I recognize I have biases and haven’t figured out how to deal with them.  Maybe I need to do some reading on it.

unfortunately, center left liberals are a dying breed

I'm a centrist lib ✌️ 😂 . I'm kinda far though, sorry.

Sorry :( Come out here to SF bay area.  I grew up in Austin and really love the city, but would never move back there in today's climate.  (My parents lived next door to Rick Perry for a few years if you want to hear some entertaining stories.)
