Believe Me — Please, Politics & Religion, & The Purity of Young Children
Tweets from bed
We should get back to a society (American) where if you tell someone your personal experience, they actually believe it. With politicians constantly lying and denying facts being the new norm, it’s easy to get caught up in it and find yourself denying facts and telling half-truths.
After all, politics is the national pastime, as it has been for about the past decade now, and facts no longer matter, only feelings. Please join me in my fight to be less feeling and more logical or factual.
Can we make Twitter a little more fair? The people with the medium-sized to bigger accounts could, perhaps, act a little less cool and engage with their followers now and then who like and leave comments? You’d be nothing without the little people. Online, you might be popular, but were you as popular as I was in 6th grade when I became friends with John Pierce, the most popular kid in class? Just ask yourself that.
If anyone from Gen X or beyond remembers, growing up, we were taught never to discuss politics or religion in public. Amazing how things have shifted because that’s all that’s talked about now. I wonder if there was any wisdom to that.
