Some of us, including me, spent a lot of time belittling Fox viewers. Because they were being lied to by people telling them what they wanted to hear. And they were too dumb to see it no matter how many times we tried to show them. In a way it makes us worse. We should have seen this for what it was and punished those that lied to us. It’s not too late. But turning your attention to other matters is cowardly

It's a mugs game. This very conception of 𝙪𝙨 and 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 is misleading. To categorize 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 according to what products of the punditry industrial complex someone consumes and 𝙪𝙨 as superior to them is gross. Same thing defining us/them according to voting choice between a shit sandwich and a giant douchebag. And I ask myself, is this kind of thinking is really all that different from categorizing by skin color or other heritable phenotype traits?

I try to consider what purposes this kind of thinking serves for myself? i.e. what use is it to me? And I like to compare it with the commercial and political purposes it serves for others.
