Were-politicians...

[furtech]

I'm counting down the days until a number of my ordinarily tolerant, balanced and moderate friends go back to what passes as normal. I do not enjoy seeing people I care for turn into rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth politicians. All you people posting political rhetoric? That IS what you are-- politicians. Look it up. The prions of society.

Exactly why I haven't been logging in Facebook. I'm not a tolerant person, and will cheerfully bump people off my friends' list for having views about my Big Issues opposite of mine. *shrug*

On the other hand I don't post much about it myself, I don't think. I reblog some stuff on Tumblr but most I just try to stay away from.

I've been quiet, politically this season. Facebook hasn't, but I have been.. so far, but one of these days I( may snap. Or Gloat like a Boss if the election swings my way.

All human interaction is politics.

That said, I look forward to the day that the Democratic Party become a leftist party again (instead of a center-right party) and the Republican Party figures out whether it wants to be libertarian or totalitarian (because right now they're working both angles).

I agree. I'm just trying to hang into there until its all over so I can avoid people's nastiness. I don't want to lose friends over this election :(

I used to get really up in arms about that kind of stuff, but pretty much am 'feh' about it for the last 8 or so years. Don't get me wrong, I still find the running of our country important, I just don't see putting so much energy into it or getting myself all worked up over it to the point a lot of people do.
