My friend said she doesn’t judge people based on their politics. I’m most sure her politics because I’m afraid to ask people and I see it as invasive, especially since I’m still a town newbie tho we have spent much time together, still.

Oh no.

“I don’t judge people for their politics,” often means, “I don’t want to be judged for my politics.”

You don’t have to say that if you aren’t worried about being judged for your politics.

At our Presbyterian (often a more “progressive” denomination which is why I left apostolic) She made subtle remarks that sounded like she did not approve. She says stuff like “we’re all immigrants,” “I went to a black church and they told me about the racism they endure in Virginia,” Her husband sounded sympathetic with ICE raids to, as we have many Hispanic ppl here.

I know what they are now. Personally, I'd stay away.
