Having an ideologically diverse audience has really opened me up to how politically cloistered everyone's used to being these days. People are always expressing surprise at the fact that they agree with me on some things yet disagree with me on others, either positively like "Wow we're not on the same page economically but I love a lot of what you say", or negatively like "OMG how can someone be so right about war and authoritarianism but SO WRONG about capitalism??"
This wouldn't stand out to them as something surprising or unusual unless it was something they don't normally experience in life. Which is a sign that something is off, because agreeing with people sometimes and disagreeing with them other times is the normal state of human interaction. That's what you experience constantly in life if your interactions are allowed to move naturally.
