My friends range from apolitical to far, far, far left. I didn't filter my friendships down to this though, it just happens naturally, because I generally doesn't feel comfortable speaking with people who have certain personality traits, and it just so happens those personality traits tend to align with conservatism.
Yeah that's sort of how I feel, it just occurs organically. I'd probably find any MAGA types to be assholes because they obviously like assholes (birds of a feather...), but I would know this before their politics anyway.
Conversely I feel the need to point out a few differences: Republican voters are not necessarily card-carrying Republicans, nor are Republican voters direct supporters of the far right (though, at this point, they kind of are you could argue).
If you actually like Trump or identify with many far-right policies, you're a jerk. But if you support traditional Republican and conservative policies, well, I can work with that. You have a right to be pro-life provided you factor in a bit of common sense and reason (as most folks do, I found) and I don't take issue with that despite being pro-choice myself, just to use one example.
