I’ve been living like an exile ever since I have been a Christian. It’s just gotten more hostile across all areas of life.
That makes more than a few of us.........
I have no problem. If anyone wants to waste their time with a negative comment, I ask then nicely if they would please try to be more tolerant and unbigoted toward others who are not just like them. If they continue, I just tell them I don't have to listen to their intolerance or put up with their lack of diversity and walk away in disgust.
Use their OWN rules against them. The leftist are the most vile, hateful, intolerant, undiverse, noninclusive people I have ever met, and I have no problem calling them out on it.

Went for a job interview in the UK in the 90’s and on the CV mentioned that I was a member of a church ensemble. I was asked...”Oh, my. Are you one of ‘those’?”
Another interviewer for a different job asked me if I let “my husband rule me”. AND if I “planned to have kids”.
