This is the least surprising news, like, EVER.
Democratic women are, well, AWFLs. They're more likely than any other demographic to block friends over political differences.
Democrats block friends over political views more often then Republicans:

- 30% of Democratic Women have blocked compared to 10% of Republican Women.
- 14% of Democratic Men have blocked compared to 8% of Republican Men. pic.twitter.com/Pw6i6DRz62
Such girl bosses.
Or something.
Republicans used to be the “mean & judgy” party and now it is the Democrats

Democrats own this.
Democrats value shallow diversity while ignoring the more important version: diversity of views
— The Rabbit Hole (@TheRabbitHole84) October 1, 2024
Bingo.
The real sad part about this is silencing those who have differing worldviews than us hardly does anything to progress our own positions.

It's not only destructive to the friendship to silence people who disagree with you... it's also destructive to one's own worldview.
All of this.
Just look at how these people respond on X. I'm blocked by democrats I have never even interacted with. The best part is they think we care.

This writer thinks it's funny when they block her.
Because she knows she was right over the target.
It is very important to have open discussions and to talk about conflicting ideas

Another reason why free speech is important
It sure is.
Posted this and got blocked by a friend I've had for most my life. 😬😂😞 pic.twitter.com/XL8DnoiBbm

The cartoon is 100% accurate.
But we're sorry your friend was such a jerk.
So, if you believe this, and it isn't far off from what I've observed, Republican Men are the most tolerant of all. Republican Black Men are even more so. Maybe it is a sign of how confident they are in their views. Juxtaposed with Democrat Women who are the least confident.

This is very true, and it plays itself out every single day.

Ignorance is bliss, after all.
Can vouch. When I was a far left lib, my conservative friends still talked to me. Now that I'm more right of center, my liberal friends want nothing to do with me. https://t.co/liS6UJ0BIm

That's been a lot of people's experience.
Democrats are much more likely to be stuck in an echo chamber full of people with their same views than Republicans. This in turn infuriates them when they run into people with views different than them. Democrats are the party of judgment and hate! https://t.co/rL3YsChdxe

TRUTH.
Growing up, this writer was taught never to discuss religion or politics in polite company.
That thinking is wrong -- we need to learn how to discuss it in all company. That's how you learn to debate and dialogue rather than blocking and censoring and running away.
