To think judging political views is like racism

I’ve noticed when someone states their pootical views it becomes oh I bet they vote for X Y or Z and they prejudice them on that. When often they’re wrong?

It’s like a form of racism because they’re judging based on politic views?

So... having an opinion is the same as being discriminated against or attacked because of the colour of your skin?

OK.

I said it’s ‘like’ racism. Not that it IS racism.

Meaning - Nasty and vitriolic behavior

Don’t be stupid.

Your race is a fixed thing which you can’t change and has no reflection on your character.

You choose your own political affiliation, and it does reflect your character.

I am not being stupid - just because one doesn’t like a political party doesn’t mean they should judge another choice ?
