I see a gradual slide underway, a slide toward the tactics of MAGA and Trump. If the remainder of America slides down to that level, then all will be lost. It's hard enough as it is, but devolving all political discussion into mindless smears and jabs from both sides leads to nowhere good.
The thing that worries me most is people on the left who deliberately posting misinformation & misquotes. (I know that it can happen inadvertently that's why it's important to check before posting). Countering ring wing disinformation with left wing disinformation leads to cyncism & disengagement.
I promise to always share honestly what I am thinking, like I did earlier in the pandemic, even if it runs at odds with common opinions. Right now I am thinking that there is much too much normalizing, apathy, and aimlessness among those who believe in social democracy, from the top to the bottom.
Trump deserves everything he gets are you really trying to convince people to allow a steamroller to run over them?
I call it the social mediafication of society. Everything is degenerating to the level of X. It terrifies me, tbh.
I agree. And I feel exactly the same about it.
I see this as well.
