"Why can't we just agree to disagree on politics?"

My dude.

- Agree to disagree was called pro-choice. You ended it and shoved authoritarian control of women's bodies down our throats.
- Agree to disagree was called LGBTQ inclusion. You banned it from schools, libraries, bathrooms, sports and the military.
- Agree to disagree was called Black Lives Matter. You mocked it and spat on it and threatened us with violence if we "try that in a small town".
- Agree to disagree was called Democracy. You traitors tried to kill it and install a military coup of your orange god emperor instead.

So no. Apparently, "we" CAN'T agree to disagree. And that's entirely your fault.

@LadyDragonfly @cstross or, in other words, why canโ€™t the Jews agree to disagree civilly with the Nazis on whether theyโ€™re entitled to breathable oxygen?

@LadyDragonfly @cjmoorehead also the reason why โ€œletโ€™s just not talk about politicsโ€ is bullshit. I donโ€™t want to talk to these assholes about anything.

How can we "agree to disagree" when what they want causes actual harm, even death, to real live (not potential) human beings?

@HLGEM exactly. "Agree to disagree" in this context is synonymous with the abuser who says "shut up and let me beat you."

@LadyDragonfly Agree to disagree is for when you like a movie and the person you're arguing with doesn't. It's not for whether you think people different than you deserve the same rights.

@LadyDragonfly
"We voted for different people" is agreeing to disagree.
"You should not be allowed to exist" is a call for homicide or genocide depending on how pluralistic 'you' is in that declaration.

One of these things is acceptable in polite society; the other is not.

@LadyDragonfly brilliant, yes. โ€œAgree to disagreeโ€ is the same as โ€œlive and let liveโ€. As soon as they sign up for that let me know, I havenโ€™t seen that from any of them. Ever.
