Political affiliation is pretty dependent on the local culture in which one is raised. In a period such as the current one, labels are used to silence and humiliate people. I do not see a purpose in allowing a person to be silenced or humiliated simply because their world view, shaped by their life experience, differs from that of others. Unlike favorite foods or music, which one may choose or ignore by choosing one’s stores, restaurants, radio stations, or media sources, politics directly acts on one’s living conditions and the sort of attacks that we see, today, upon holders of different views are direct attacks on people’s psyches.
