And I still can't consider myself a conservative, but the left has become so insane, authoritarian, and destructive, I can't be part of it any more. So I'm politically homeless. But I'll emerge from my self-made, TDS-free Fortress of Solitude to vote for Trump, because four more years of him is significantly less horrifying a prospect than a Kamala Harris presidency.
I feel the same way. At least you're not in school. It's EVERYWHERE.
Every other day, I get text messages telling me to register and vote for Biden. Or do these political surveys about how's the economy and whatnot.
It's not like I keep up with current television or movies, but now these Trump references are blatant and distasteful.
And don't even get me started on social media. It's one thing to be politically informed, it's another thing entirely to have it run your life.
I don't even like Trump; I despise that man. But God damn, people hate him on another level.
It's not like the other side is better, just less frequent. They idolize that man like he's the Second Coming.
Politics now has seeped into daily life, it's damn near impossible to get away from it less you isolate yourself. The mental gymnastics people use to defend their choice of candidate sometimes interferes with their own logic.
People deal with enough weight on their shoulders, they don't need more people condensing them or preaching at them because they turn on the television.
I would say vote third party, but that vote won't even matter because the two party system has monopolized democracy in this country.
