For instance, I have an aunt who is definitely MAGA, and is flirting with Q-Anon ideas. However, she has pretty good views on the environment and animal rights. For instance, after travelling to Ecuador, she donates to some Ecuadorian land trust run by locals. However, if you start talking to her about the border or gender, she goes full Orbán.

    Not family really, they’re mostly just lib or con (though I guess one guy is like a “moderate” lib but clearly understands the world and capital better than the others, but chooses to be a class traitor and make $$$ rather than being left-wing much at all) but I have run into a lot of, shall we say, idiosyncratic views at the local worker co-op coffee shop… you’d expect decent politics from people there, some of whom founded the worker co-op, but its really all over the place there:

    1 with major terf-brain, one with almost-great politics but a closet misogynist, 1 regular who seems like a bernie type guy on the surface, but over time I’ve heard him multiple times discussing the republican primary candidates and seems to really like Vivek lmao, etc
