Just ignore the screeching woke masses and define yourself based on your beliefs, rather than based on whether you "fit in" with morons.

I have the same issue with being rejected by many on the so-called "Left" because I fully support gun rights, considering them to be instrumentally important in ensuring a democratic society that is ruled by the people rather than exclusively for the rich and politically connected.

Apparently, wanting "people" to rule society and benefit from society rather than an elite class, rather than just wanting to make everyone completely safe at all times, makes me a crazy conservative in the eyes of those types. 

You can't win with such irrational nonsense.

Unfortunately, the so-called "right" aren't any better, as you can't even bring up the idea of things like economic reforms without large numbers of them coming screeching out of the woods yelling "COMMIE, WE GOT A COMMIE HERE!" without ever thinking to even listen to my specific stances or bring up any coherent argument.

Politics are fucked. I try to at least associated with people who are willing to have a discussion in good faith (even if I disagree), and try to steer people towards that kind of thing while ignoring people who act like eternal children.

The left consistently loses because it's lost sight of the fact that ultimately everything is about the distribution of national economics. 

Fighting over Velma and unisex bathrooms is a great way to never obtain actual institutional power while alienating disillusioned masses that might otherwise listen to your economic theories.
