    You have to know politics are a portion of a person’s existence. It should not be the focal point of their existence. It should be an agreed upon direction and and a disagreement amongst certain things.

    Political ideology comes from who you are and what you believe about the world.
    The compromises that we make as a larger community are not necessarily in line with my personal politics, but I recognize it’s necessary to make those compromises.

    Saying “it’s not really their fault “ is bullshit, dismissing them because they’re “just bored” or whatever….

    That’s how we wound up with trump in the first place.

    These aren’t children. They have agency, they made a choice. Even growing up in such a cult, a time comes where you make that choice. They might be stupid, they might be getting lied to, but ultimately they choose to be assholes.

    And we’re watching them tell us their politics: straight up hate.

      When did I say it’s not their fault? It is 100 percent their fault.
