Being able to see through the lies of all political parties is a superpower. It's not something very common in today's world.
It seems to be limited to libertarians and anarchists. Which isn't surprising.
You'll get used to being accused of being on "the other side" each time you criticize the stupidity or evil you see on one side. Or assumed to belong to a side each time you call out something a side is doing right. (Yes, they do occasionally do something right.)
Let it roll off your back.
Politics makes people stupid, and usually evil, too. It makes them blind to reality, seeing everything through the lens of politics-- a lens even worse than the one I had surgery to remove. But they don't want their flawed lens removed. It lets them imagine they see what they want to see.
