In the past 3 days, I've given nuanced/balanced/alternative takes on 3 hot button issues: abortion, student loans, and guns. Trust me when I say this: When you don't take a strong side, you get half the support and twice the hate.

Group think is definitely a survival mechanism

Pro Tip: Sarcasm only works if you also have an argument that holds water. If you only have the sarcasm, you are experiencing cognitive dissonance.

One way Republicans can love the $10K student loan debt cancellation plan is by calling it Reparations and declaring that topic settled at the same time. The only "reparations" plan that would ever get approved would involve fixing education for everyone at low income.

If they think toddlers can consent to gender counseling, 14-yr-olds can consent to hormones, and 16-yr-olds can consent to trans surgery, then they also think they can consent to sex. They just haven’t openly admitted it yet. Gender ideology is a pedophile movement.

Decrepit politicians illegally spending money we don't have in the middle of an inflationary cycle to prop up an elitist scam while claiming to help impoverished minorities. That's dying days of the republic type stuff.

The mere repetition of a behavior causes our nervous system to believe that the specific actions involved, and the context in which they are embedded are important, for better or for worse. Choose what you repeat wisely.
