Unfortunately we are now living a very particular divisive moment in our history. I have never had problems in the past in dealing with people (acquaintances, coworkers, relatives) who have a political "affiliation" different from mine, even if my closer friends of course always shared my views, but now it is a different story, the line is too thick and dense to ignore. To me agreeing with one particular Party today means too many things I am allergic to, and I am not able to just forget the affiliation. My choice.
There is a latino masseur in Tampa whom I saw in the past decade a few times and enjoyed him a lot, but I stopped seeing him when in 2020 he started sending me messages with scary conspiracy theories.
Another masseur in Tampa with glowing reviews and whom I wanted to see erased my interest when I read his posts on X.
I just can't.
I will never ask for the political affiliation of a potential provider, but if I find out it is opposite to mine I prefer t go somewhere else.
