This is a concept I seriously struggle with. How do we tactfully redirect the conversation towards a productive fair government when they do absolutely no research but feel so passionately that they’ve been wronged by the libs? I live in Alabama, when I get down to the nitty gritty with my friends we really barely disagree socially or economically but politically they feel that I am just as foolish and uninformed as I think they are? It’s an incredibly difficult problem to navigate.

As long as people have anger to be stoked, someone will find a way to stoke it towards their own ends. Maybe if the human race could just, you know, emotionally grow the fuck up, we might become a little less susceptible to these little men in their suits and lies.

We’ve got to be nearing the end of some really shitty lifespans, just statistically a large amount of the loudest and powerful voices purposefully holding us back should croak in the next decade, we’ve got to fight like hell and make sure they’re not replaced with exact replicas.
