(10,828 posts)That is too much an ask in insular spaces.
Honestly this 180 on stochastic terrorism (remember when people learned that phrase and used it for a solid two weeks?) is just about pushing me out of politics. I'm on the cusp of just bouncing and focusing on my own prosperity and that of those around me. It's clear reason is not reigning at this juncture.
When sanity returns, maybe I'll re-engage. And I am not assuming it will any time soon. But it's all getting to a point where I'm watching and thinking of bon voyaging as everyone gets exactly what they agitate for.
I told a Trump friend before the election - "You may think you're getting what you want, but I promise you are not." That holds true here as well. People may think this is all a great idea, but it is not. The Right is watching. And eventually, the Right will realize, "Well, if it's game on then . . ."
And no one will like that. But, due to that lack of self-awareness, the people fomenting it now will never perceive nor accept their role in ordering the clapback they're currently putting postage on.
