But how is it much different that a trump supporter being in the same apartment building as you? Its just isolation all the way down.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's the image of a suburban neighborhood vs an apartment. Because if I lived in Amerika, I definitely could imagine myself being forced to live next to a Trump supporter in an apartment, because I literally couldn't afford to live anywhere else other than the barely-affordable cheapo apartments, in which case the next apartment over could have someone in a similar financial situation who ended up a lot more reactionary because of it. But if I could afford to live in suburbia, a nice big house with a nice big front lawn, then it sort of feels like my choice to live next to those types of people — and that's only a choice I'd make if I could on some level put up with those people even when I don't strictly need to, that is, if they don't scare me.

I guess that's how I feel.
