I listen to a podcast by a chef named David Chang, it was enjoyable until the last few months when it’s gone political where he rants about the evils of Trump and the Republicans but I continue to listen to hear the opposite sides views and hope he’ll eventually get back on topic. What’s funny is he speaks in the same way many Trump supporters do but toward Trump. You could literally switch the terms dem for rep or Trump for Biden in the statements and never realize you were duped
anyway, he said something that I found peculiar. They were talking about turning states blue and said he wasn’t willing to move to West Virginia or some other state which came across like it was a coordinated effort being communicated to democrats. This left me wondering how that message is being communicated.
Does anyone know if youre an active democrat whether you get memos, etc encouraging stuff like this?
what was also frustrating as hell is to hear him and his cohorts and a reporter named alex wagner go off on Trump, et al but never said anything specific about what his policies where and why they were a problem. It was always he’s an idiot, racist, asshole, I hate him, etc, etc...all feelings but no substance
it made (& makes) me want to puke, emotions seem to be driving people’s behaviors and beliefs along with peer pressure to comply with the Trump outrage. There are plenty of worthy examples to justify opposing Trump but when I ask people why they hate him, all they ever say is stuff like he’s a racist and then I ask why do you think he’s a racist and they can never explain why.
I don’t care if folks dislike, hate, etc Trump but damn, can it least be based on sound logic and not feelings?
i realize that’s too big of an ask and the answer is “no” so for the first time in my life I’m concerned about this country and where this mentality will take us. It’s shocking to see so many people openly advocating for censorship of thoughts and ideas they don’t like
it makes me wonder where the world will escape to when there is no longer an America to run to
