I mean I go by things situationally and in this situation, I can’t stay in the middle. However I think sometimes there’s a difference between being in the middle, and trying to bring peace. U can be kind to everyone while still standing up for your beliefs and fighting for those who can’t vs someone who just doesn’t care about either side which is the big issue. At some point (once trump is out of office) this country will NEED to reunite or else we will never make it out of this hole
I think, in this context, “moderate” means being okay with people that believe in racist ideals. I don’t mind sharing a space with my grandma and visiting her and still loving her, but you bet every time she says something racist I’ll call her out on it. I don’t think she’ll change her mind at her age, but at least she now knows using slurs around me will get me to call her out. If you weren’t to say anything in those situations, you’re not racist, but you are allowing racism to continue
