Why is Trump such a polarizing figure?
🐸 WAG THE FROG 🐸
Think about it. No one is neutral on Trump. People like us are passionate Trump supporters. Many are virulent opponents. But I know of no one who is of the mind "Trump? He's OK, I guess. " What's your experience been?
Yeah I have a relative like that who falls apart and backpedals any time he's asked to actually explain his stance as it's never deeper than some third-hand information he heard. I find that such people really get flustered if instead of asking "why do you think that" ask "so who told you to think that?"
Same experience... they refuse to watch, listen to, read, or look at any material or evidence contrary to what they are conditioned to think about him. They get agitated and aggressive when you attempt to pierce the veil for them.
You also have those who don't want anyone to get in the way of their "happy", perfect little life- those who don't do anything politically, and won't get involved in any way (voting, etc), as politics are "too ugly" and "I just want to be happy and live my life". Those people are the most insidious of all, and I just happen to live with one...
This kind of person may not be interested in politics, but politics are VERY INTERESTED in them.
This. Thanks fren.
That's what I remind them of every time they bitch about the current state of things.
If one wants to know what they think just skim the cnn and msnbc headlines in the morning. That’s what their new update is. Nothing deeper than that went in. My experience is they find the whole news/politics/philosophy topics boring and get agitated that they’re wasting time on topics like that instead of their favorite hobby.
It’s the NPC meme.
Hurts their feelings.
Yeah,,,, it’s so f@&$ing frustrating.
