I used to be on the far Right. I was a 3rd degree proud boy and had the tattoo and everything. I have since gotten out of that shit and covered my tattoo and dedicated my life to science.
Since I have left that way of thinking it is so easy to see how both the left and the right just use rage bait and disaster porn to keep their tribes alive. However I have seen more of a focus on culture warfare and just “anti-the other side” from the right lately. To be fair I also haven’t been paying too close of attention. It does seems that when trump was in office the left was doing that more, but trump set a standard for just combatting anything the other tribe does, the right Kept running with it. The left has seemed to just let them run in circles and make a fool of themselves.
With that said there is a lot of bullshit on both sides, both are focused on the wrong things. Politics is a useless thing to engage with in my opinion. Trump changed American politics. You can argue for better or worse but he changed it. The right has been able to hold onto the fact he was very good for the economy, and blame this current recession on Biden even though we know it’s mainly on COVID. So if Biden is able to pull the economy back together (or at least of the economy can recover while a democrat is in office) you’re right, the republicans lose their main source of ammunition.
A lot of the Woke stuff is bullshit, but just let the bullshit be, let them look dumb and do it to themselves. The right also has their own for of “woke” the snowflakes on the right are just as bad the ones on the left. It’s all just a tribal warfare when they both have the same qualities. I’ve also noticed the loudest mouths from the right on this site have not responded to this thread lol.
Sorry for the long far reaching comment I’m just bored as hell and wanted to engage with someone lol
