I don't understand what you mean by pragmatics, but I dumped a few who were projecting evil intentions onto me—if I was a Trump supporter, I must be guilty, even though my actions were just the opposite of their accusations. For instance, during his 2016 campaign, I was picking up one of my remaining Democrat friends from her meeting to go out to dinner. She brought a stranger (to me) out with her and asked me to drive the person home—a male-to-female transgender. I said "Sure; hop in.”
He/she sat next to me in the passenger seat and I made polite conversation while asking which way to turn here and there to his/her destination. Afterward at dinner, my friend accused me of bigotry towards trans people “because Trump...”
There's no use even talking to idiots like that, even though she had been my roommate and bridesmaid and we'd been friends for 50 years. After a couple of other incidents like that from her, I sent her a “Dear Jane” letter.
I was being pragmatic and they took great offense. I have a business major among other things and I think in pragmatic terms and positions especially in a business sense. The leftists took great offense.
My SIL spent 20 years in Australia and came back to care for a dear old Auntie and dear ol Auntie didn’t like the leftist-bitch either and tossed her out too.
Goodness sakes and bless their hearts but my plate is full and I don’t need their aggravation.
