      As someone who used to have a lot of similar opinions, it really isn’t. If anything, it was energizing to make people squirm and try to prove you wrong, only to have another issue chambered and ready to go.

      They thrive on this shit. And after moving left, I’m fucking exhausted.

        And that’s exactly the point, too. Keep you mentally tired and angry so you don’t have the energy to question why too deeply.

            Ah, yes. Both sides. Both sides hate net neutrality. Both sides clamouring to make healthcare worse. Both sides fighting against the right for women to control their own bodies. Both sides hinting that their supporters violently attack the opposition at rallies.

            Except maybe not quite so much sometimes.

            There’s a smaller number of rage-filled dumbasses on the left than on the right.

            And the rage-filled dumbasses on the left tend to be teenagers who will grow out of it. On the right it’s middle-aged people with brain rot from too much Fox News.

            …all the while, reasonable people in the middle are just tired of getting bludgeoned by both sides’ messaging & want to get on with their lives.
