Do you think that most people are fed up with tumultuous partisan politics?

13. I don't think most people understand and concentrate on stuff until it actually affects THEM.

Over this Charlie Kirk stuff, I've actually had TWO people who were Democrats start jumping my shit on social media for "spewing hate". All I had shared were quotes and videos of Charlie Kirk's actual comments. No commentary. Just HIS stuff.

People are afraid and want to turn away from the impending chaos. Christian Nationalists want civil war. That is their intent because that is what will benefit them. They aren't going to stop until they get it.

So, basically, those who are not interested at this point, are going to be forced to get interested at some point when something is actually taken away from them. As bad an example as this is and I hate to use it but I'm old and can't think of anything else right now - in the movie the "Patriot" Mel Gibson's character was trying to stay out of the war until his son was killed and he changed his mind.

We are not there quite yet, but we grow closer every day. In my opinion, "we" (i.e., DU'ers, Democrats, normal, rational people, etc.) are trying to keep from reaching that point. But Christian Nationalists (again) will benefit from pushing us to war so they will not stop. At some point, we will have to stop trying to prevent it, and start to try to quash it.

I mourn that time. It didn't have to be this way.
