A group itself, no matter how big or small, is going to be difficult to change. The individuals inside those groups however..
people are more willing to listen to you if they think they know you and like you before they realize you have a ideological opinion that opposes their own
Hence why I talk with people outside of politics
And made some of my best friends that way, despite not agreeing much
come at someone airing their laundry on twitter with an objection they will see you a stranger that pulled on them a blade in the night
ye
we have this shitty world where people treat politics like some sort of tribal warfare
Unfortunately that is true
it begins with one man who throws a stone
you cant blame the others for defending themselves
it's almost impossible nowadays to be friends with someone with an opposing political stance
its not smart but it is survival
because often
Indeed. Question is. Do they pick up the stone and throw back?
they will treat you like a fucking monster
no
you don't
Exactly
thats a value judgement, there is no right answer before hignsight
It's not impossible but hard, AG. You just have to find the right people, whose mindset doesn't act in such a manner
the real sick thing is when you remember that voter turnout in 2016 was something around 50%
I heard it was about 65%?
meaning that there's a decent chance that the hateful asshole who wants to kill you for being Republican didn't vote
yeah I know >CNN but still
Washington (CNN)Voter turnout this year dipped to nearly its lowest point in two decades.
While election officials are still tabulating ballots, the 126 million votes already counted means about 55% of voting age citizens cast ballots this year.
well i mean hillery clinton did go on a large career ending rant about how her fans didint vote for her
Well, shit. Can't blame them, the MSM fucking HATED Trump, Bernie sanders got fucked in favor of Hillary
she wasn't entirely wrong
a lot of people were convinced by the MSM and each other that Trump stood no chance
and so chances are they didn't even bother to vote
when i think about how thousands of people who want Donald Trump dead didn't even bother to show up to the polls, I can't decide whether I should laugh or weep
Both?
Laugh at their stupidity, weep at their hate
oh I don't care about their hate
if anything I laugh at their hate
the fact that they put so much energy towards hating someone they literally can't touch humors me
I weep for the fact that these people didn't even bother to exercise their right to help decide their nation's future
How much did Hillary's campaign spend on their campaign anyway?
2 Billion?
