Have you noticed that people often feel that the opposite of someone they like or support is wrong or bad? It’s a strange assumption.
And not just the obvious things like Politics & Religion.
Everyday things.
If they like Coke, Pepsi is bad.
If they are vegan, meat is wrong.
If they have children, then someone who chooses to be childless is wrong.
If they have trucks, small cars are bad.
There is this strange sort of OR mentality. Like the world can only tolerate ONE and all other things must be bad.
But life doesn’t actually work like that. Why do we do that?
It's a Thought 
This is especially true about Ford vs. Chevy people.
Maybe they are insecure in their choices.

I think Autumnashbough has a good point. They have this nagging doubt that they might have chosen wrong.

I feel like it’s a defense mechanism. They want the world to know that they made the right choice and you can’t show that if you like Coke AND Pepsi.

But is there a right choice? Is it important? Why do we place so much emphasis on such trivial matters. Even when you scale up to politics, we often get angry about things that never affect us…

I think it stems back to being taught at an early age that there is right and there is wrong.

That’s a good point. School teaches us that there must be a specific correct answer. And so we continue to think that life actually works like that but it doesn’t. good point.

Exactly! And obviously, we don’t want to be wrong with our choices.
