I can tolerate anything except the outgroup (2014)
&quot;And I don’t have a single one of those people in my social circle. It’s not because I’m deliberately avoiding them; I’m pretty live-and-let-live politically, I wouldn’t ostracize someone just for some weird beliefs. And yet, even though I probably know about a hundred fifty people, I am pretty confident that not one of them is creationist.&quot; I&#x27;m guessing this is just because it&#x27;s never come up. Maybe it&#x27;s because I live in the midwest or something but I know a number of creationists, republicans, people against gay marriage etc. and interact with them. While my social circle is certainly influenced by my more liberal politics when there are so many people around I don&#x27;t see how you can&#x27;t interact with them as friends, neighbors, coworkers etc. But unless you specifically talk about issues like creationism with them it can easily not come up, we tend to assume people share our politics&#x2F;opinions unless proven otherwise.
