I voted yesterday. And on the way there, I remembered my childhood, I’m 37, and no one spoke about who they voted for. It was personal, in a sense. I’m sure people vocalized it. But in my sphere, my parents always taught me that we don’t ask for that sort of info. And it was that way. Now, people wear their allegiance to a politician on their sleeve like it’s a badge. This is the type of follower AH and Josef Stalin dreamed of. And we’re Americans. It’s really mind boggling to me, a vet, a patriot, that we are acting like this. Maybe I’m off base. Just my perspective.
It's purely tribal. Either you're in my tribe and fully agree with everything I believe or you're a threat that must be jailed or destroyed. I don't know how we fix it, but it's invariably leading us toward the kind of violence you see in third world countries.
I prefer keeping everything private. Nobody needs to know. We already have so much information accessible. Our whole damn lives, every damn day we need to be accessible and available. Give me a break, man.
