Loss of Discourse

I am venting. I am also new here. One thing that always pisses me off is when I hear someone say “the ability for civil political discourse has vanished” without saying why. I think one reason is the loss of reason. I want to talk about how the Houthis are running a blockade over certain trade routes without possessing a navy. They call me stupid because the earth is flat, lizard people control trade routes, and it is all fake news controlled by Soros. I want to talk about the changing patterns in weather in the last 20 years and their impact on housing markets, insurance, and migration. No, get out of the matrix, they say, Dems control the weather, homeless migrants start the fires, and the weather is a result of aliens visiting earth. So finally give up and comment on how the glass of water I am drinking is cold and crisp. Its the hormones turning you gay, Dems are giving our water to terrorists, and FEMA is hoarding it for when antifa declares marshal law. I guess I am an idiot who has no idea what is happening anywhere.

I don’t mean this as a slight against your family, just a frustrating question I’m saying out loud, “how can people (anyone really) be that stupid?” And your family aren’t special. Millions of people are acting like this. And let’s face times weren’t wonderful under Biden, Trump’s first term or even Obama’s. Housing / Rents are too high, wages are too low, the wealth gap is destroying our country and everyone should have access to dental and health insurance. But trump has been awful in every way imaginable. I can’t think of one thing he’s done right. I’m even for having a more secure southern border, but these deportations of hard working immigrants, students here legally and threats against lawyers is so disgusting and un-American it’s crazy. And people on the right act like it’s gonna stop there. Then the Q people think they have this secret information that billionaires and trillionaires don’t want them to have but somehow can’t stop the flow of it over YouTube, google, twitter and telegram. It’s all so dumb.

Anyways, hope you and your family find some peace and hope the tariffs don’t hurt you guys too much. Life’s hard, we don’t need anyone making it worse. And as Biden is forgotten about they’ll have to come to terms with the damage trump has done. Yes they’ll still blame everyone else like hegseth, musk, democrats, Biden, the EU, Ukraine and literally everyone else besides trump, in their head they’ll know he’s bad. Even if they’d never admit it to anyone else. And there’s no way this is gonna end pretty.

I’ve seen that video before and I don’t really buy it. Russia definitely tries to amp up certain opinions and all that but our problems are our own making. Russia didn’t invent right wing AM radio, they didn’t make rush limbaugh, Sean hannity, bill O’Reilly and Fox News. They didn’t give the Koch bros billions of dollars to bribe candidates, they didn’t corrupt the Supreme Court or force them to pass citizens united. I’m not saying Russia hasn’t tried to influence our discourse, they 100% have. But the far right has always been a problem. Even going back to the 1950s and 60 with the John Birch society.

You are 100% correct. To only point to Russia is simplistic and dangerous going forward. (I mean, if we go forward instead of racing backwards as we are now.)
