Don’t have to resort to name calling dude. I was focused on the last part of your comment. I mostly agree with the first part, but that’s the danger and strength of an echo chamber like this one. The zeal is real, and it can be misguided but luckily enough the zeal is in the correct direction most of the time.
If anything this space has helped those prone to “hero worship” to NOT... More and more I see posts here where it really doesn’t go over well, and people are educating each other on why so-and-so representative isn’t a good choice.
Of course more recently it’s been entirely blown out of the water, so with the exception of a few key players I don’t think we’ll see much more meme worship happening.
you're right, i don't have to call you names. Apologies if I have offended you. I just don't want this place to become like reddit, and I don't these people to become mindless and not think. I think we can do great things together if we are organized but also don't want to see a hive mind. I don't know, just depressing times i guess. Forgive me for being negative.
Nothing to forgive here friend, I know tensions are high. This place is special and I’m proud of it, ultimately. The makeup of this site will change, with the numbers coming in it’s inevitable.
There’s this saying that comes to mind that might help: Everyone is religious. It just means as humans we’re always looking to worship something or someone, subconsciously. So it’s inevitable. The good thing with all this stuff happening is those who are under the impression that politicians are saviors have started to wake up. It’s kind of ugly to see it happening in the daylight, like it is here, but it’s better than being able to fool oneself in privacy and continue to drink the koolaid. The public aspect of this place is stamping those embers out.
Politicians are humans. Maybe. And they certainly aren’t good ones 99.9% of the time.
If it helps I didn’t think you were actually on the other side I just thought that mindset wasn’t pede-like, but I totally understand.
Listen...I've been sticked three times, so there's no way i'm on the other side....ok. Haha. I joke, but I get what you are saying. I'm a born and raised Catholic. Makes me really anxious when I see people start to get over zealous and not question people in power no matter what side they are on. Hell, I even appreciate people that question Trump to a degree if it's genuine. Bad shit happens when you can't question authority. In fact, I always say, the Democratic Party is Church 2.0. I know a lot of religious pedes will get mad at me for that, but the mental architecture is there. Anyway, we are on the same side. It's been dark days, but we will stay together and fight whatever is on the horizon together.
