My friend just moved to a new city, and tweeted this. Why do MLM-ers have to be garbage and do this? It’s already hard enough making new friends post-college in a new town.

Yeah these things stood out to me immediately when I moved down. Always have these weird interactions at our board game night where you can tell people are kind of feeling you out. Tortured sidelong references to Trump, celebrities that offend them, how a particular game about the economy is "socialist" etc. Had somebody say "you're kind of like a libertarian then right?" You may as well have showed up at their house and said you're in al Qaeda sooner than the democratic party.

Funny thing is their actual positions wrt to the environment, most social issues, the economy, etc is bog standard liberalism. But they've been told liberals want a handout and conservatives are hardworking family types. So they can never say they're liberal because it has a lot of baggage for them.
