I find myself turning into an asshole sometimes, like when I don't go out of my way to let a vehicle with a Trump sticker merge in front of me.

In my line of work (nonprofit fundraising), I am exposed (and beholden) to a lot of hardcore MAGA Republicans, and I have to check myself when I start allowing my disdain to consume my thoughts.

I definitely often go hard hitting reply on comments online and then backspace, backspace, backspace and remind myself that is a conversation I don't want to have with that person. When I'm out in the world, I usually don't know who anyone is and treat everyone as a friend.
