how do I stop giving a f*ck about my coworkers political ideas? (lemmy.ml)

I don't talk about politics or religion at the workplace, yet there is a drama queen that loves just blurting out what she thinks to everyone around.

My way to go so far has been to ignore her, but sometimes I just want to yell at her how incoherent she is.

Then I'd be the one starting drama I guess...

I'm looking for advice to deal with these kind of people. I don't want to work listening to conspiracy theories.

You might as well be a donkey to believe in right wing propaganda, but you have to be a pathetic spiteful jerk to be so angry at everyone holding different views. Because in your system there can be no different views, only the "correct" propaganda, which you believe in as god's honest truth. Did you also cry and had to take a day off when Trump won? The problem with libs is - they tend to wish reality into existence. "I think it's true, so it must be". "Everyone disagreeing with me is a fascist cunt and must be exterminated, or worse, cancelled".

"Look at the polls, people are tired of your bullshit. - No, it can't be, it's all Russian / Chinese propaganda"

"Your present is brain-dead and his successor can't sit through a real interview for more than 5 minutes" - "I will still support him, and then be devastated when they horribly lose"

"Mr President and his son are part of a corruption scheme in another country" - "This is ridiculous", "OK, might be actually true", "B-b-but what about Trump!"

I was once holding the same views, hated everyone else and believed in every word they said. I was really disappointed when it started showing through the cracks. Not because they lie (because, apparently, everyone does), but because they were always on their high horse and always sowing panic.

Yes because right wing cunts are known for being extremely tolerant of others. We're not talking about 'different views'. We're talking about harmful views. People who think it's ok to make people miserable just because they're different. So fuck off.

"Everyone disagreeing with me is a fascist cunt and must be exterminated, or worse, cancelled"

Considering I largely disagree with fascists, if you disagree with me then there's a solid chance you're a fascist, yes.

And there's a known cure for fascism.

Did you also cry and had to take a day off when Trump won?

I'm not american, but I guarantee you that if the right wing won in my country, I would need far more than a day off, not to cry, but to set shit on fire. Americans are weak people.

Fuck off, nazi sympathiser.
