Politics is disappointing. I feel like certain stories are meant get up the ire of one or the other's side. I find George Santos an offense. The more information I get about him, the more upset I am that he exists in the Congress. I don't want to pay attention or fully understand shady act that he's documented doing. I just want him one. It's disgusting that he isn't gone.
I read the conservative side of Reddit too, and they're upset about the communications director getting snookered at times, about how they know Trump had 3 balloons fly across America during his presidency. She can't really say things, and it's a difficult job, not sure why she's not sputtering more. I don't experience that as a win for Conservatives, and that their ire should be up, but they believe the 3 balloon story is false, and she's bumbling on the falseness of it. I don't know maybe it was a wrong fact check, who could even know it's hard to know who to trust now.
But that's not even in the same league as George Santos' existence. From my perspective. Left leaning people who walk away disgusted cede the political energy to the right, because the right doesn't want anything done because it's over reach or raises taxes, or isn't a fun enough grift for them, they don't think government should help people and they're focused on the unintended consequences of the left instead of the unintended consequences of the left.
So if you're politically apathetic, you're giving power to the obstructionist, and it's OK to harm people crowd. Let people die of Covid instead of having a vigorous response that saves lives, because people feel impinged upon. I hate wearing the mask too, I went somewhere and online it said wear a mask. I haven't worn a mask in quite a while but I did anyway because they requested that I wear a mask. I didn't think my imagine freedom to potentially spread Covid was more powerful than their right to be healthy. I was willing to be a little uncomfortable for them.
Seems like Republicans right now, and it wasn't always this way, want the right to be selfish and not have to worry about the consequences of their behavior. Being against understanding the consequences of their behavior, even denying it. Eisenhower and Nixon would be considered commies in the current political climate despite being Republicans. I consider Clinton a republican, to the right of Nixon. I feel like we live in very dangerous times. The information age has blown out information and we're a bit hit by the dumbstick. I know part of it is the wisdom of age, and seeing through a lot of the lies I probably didn't even notice in the past, and also a false nostalgia for past times that were not a good as I imagine them. But I'm very concerned about the political state of America right now. Trump would be a disaster, but I'm grateful that the right has moved on from him. DeSantis would be a nightmare. We'd have to have Glasnost and Perestroika after his presidency. I'm putting my hope into Mark Kelly at the moment. We'll see who emerge, and who's even going to be running for president. I know it's agist, but in 2027 Biden will be 84, and I'm sorry, I think that's just a little bit too old. He might be the best person when the dust settles because the others are such bad alternatives. Rational people vote against the worst person. I don't like Hochul but she's miles better than Zedlin.
And that's the rub, people want to be excited about who they vote for but you're never going to get everything you want. There's a certain maturity involved in following politics, and letting a lot of water run off your back.
Republicans refuse to clap for Biden's success, even though it's America's success. They have lost their American spirit. They are no longer there for America, they are only there for their voters.
