I have convinced my left leaning friends that the left is currently pushing transgenderism in schools and that it is going way too far and that trans surgeries for kids are horrific ideas. I have also gotten them to agree that the mainstream media is constantly pushing propaganda and that feminism gives women way too many advantages. My friends are Asian like me and they agree that the left pushing affirmative action and DEI is horrific. They don't like the leftists pushing cancel culture and silencing people for opinions. They don't want to see Biden vs Trump as the two nominees in 2024 which I definitely agree with them on.

That's a really impressive list actually. I gave you some heat this week but apparently you're more reasonable in real life than on this board. I would guess they also bring up politics from time to time because there's no way you could've gained ground on all those issues if you were the only one talking about them.

Because they're Asians I'd also guess that most of them have fairly traditional parents who might vote Democrat, but at least grounded their psyches in reality enough that they can't get full blown brain rot.

The friend group I'm talking about used to have more political conversations, but that was before Biden got really demented. Now we just talk about pop culture stuff as if this was 2012 and politics is a sideshow. I think there's a certain level of embarrassment there. The closest we get is discussions of fictional characters and how movies and TV are sliding down into decadent hell, and while they get uncomfortable about anything that touches on race-swapping, nobody champions diversity.

Also one guy that served as sort of a realist conduit disappeared behind the Great Firewall of China. I hope nobody found VPN on his computer or something.

Talking about COVID, gun control and Trump is where their otherwise sane opinions goes to hell. They refuse to acknowledge the ramifications of the lockdowns and how shitty the COVID vaxxes are.

Interesting, do they acknowledge the virus was engineered?

To this discussion of Asians specifically I'd also guess that most of them have fairly traditional parents who might vote Democrat, but at least grounded their psyches in reality enough that they can't get full blown brain rot.
