Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump

I sit here dumbfounded at all of this. People believe that Trump saying he won’t be somewhere is inciting violence. I saw conservatives lose their brain with Obama in 2008 (“ODS”) and I lost faith in “the right”. In 2015-2021 I lost whatever faith I had left in “the left” (“TDS”). Its been over four years of ridiculous takes in the media, including social media, and its not funny any more. Political fanaticism seems to lower IQ by 50 points (and EQ by even more.)

I hope there are people who feel the same way and I wonder where is the best place to get away from the rabidness. Quarantine can’t end soon enough.

Welcome to the political sidelines.

We enjoy bread, circuses and the inevitable collapse of industrial civilization,

You aren’t alone! My family and friends think I am either a closeted right wing racist, or a secret socialist. I have two friends who, like me, question the party dogma and don’t appreciate being nailed to any particular ideology. In my experience in Oregon about 5% of my family and peers are non-partisan but politically interested and informed.

Welcome to the minority!
