Your act of bowing out and talking about seeking education on political stances and values, right off the bat, made you smarter than 90% of the American voters. I salute you, despite disagreeing with your present assumptions about this administration. Trump, as a human, is clearly not a genius. But the very instant you start relating him to white supremacy, you've already lost the plot and admitted allegiance to fake news. Ignore all "news". Watch live, raw, unedited feeds and interviews, especially with Trump. You'll realize the world is much more stable than it seemed.
On Reddit, I've been accused of being radical on both sides, and every form of bigotry. I've been banned from dozens of subs with not a single rule infraction. I literally have an essay, on file, posted to T_D, where I detailed why I don't like Trump, yet still, my extremely mild defense of the right-leaning positions I agree with lately has been used to get me repeatedly banned. People just look at my account history and see points in the Donald. Great. I'm tired of this hysteria. I welcome you among the adults in this juvenile shitstorm.
Indeed.
Now, I admit I have no real idea what I'm talking about with politics, and I mostly just read political news on Facepunch's Sensational Headlines section. Politics just aren't my thing. I, like everyone else, have my own views on certain subjects. For example I am for abortion, I think it's a necessity in today's world what with the crazies out there who commit sexual assault/rape. Plus who are we to tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies? We wouldn't stand for it if someone told us men we couldn't ejaculate because "life begins at ejaculation and you're aborting millions of unborn children". I am against religion as a whole for many reasons most of which have been stated by stand-up comedians over the years. Not to mention the concept of not believing in the Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy/Santa Claus but believing in a "God" just doesn't make sense to me at all. I am also a huge proponent of keeping the world as peaceful as possible. I'd rather not have Trump start World War 3 with North Korea. With those views in mind, I assume I'm what one would consider "Liberal"?
But to wrap things up, I have my views and beliefs, other people have their own. I accept that and I respect that and I was brought up to not try to force my beliefs onto others (and to judge a person not by the color of their skin but by the actions of their heart). Let me do me and as long as you aren't forcing your beliefs onto me, I'll gladly let you do you.
