The other day I couldn't help but overhear two strangers talking about the tariffs with each other in a waiting room. From what I heard neither really had a strong opinion and spoke with the same tone you'd talk about the weather; mostly just conversational fluff. I gotta say, though, it's nice to get a refresher every once in a while that literally nothing about e-politics is real. Be it Xitter, /pol/, Facebook, Instagram, whatever, none of the cancer discourse rears its head in real life. It's all just faggy gossip and grifting. I can't place why, but everyone on the Internet argues like a scorned woman now.
So when you hear normal, composed people talking casually about current events, without trying to twist any new development into a political "win" or suddenly becoming an international trade expert when the "debate" calls for it, it's a great wake up call that there are still people who live in reality.
