Dear Kyrsten (and all the rest of you “independent” voters)…
We get it. We hear you. We understand your angst…
No wait.. we don’t.
At least I don’t. I don’t understand your incessant need to cry about the lost center. I don’t understand your agita about extremism. I don’t understand your bothsiderism or your inability to see things in black and white when the choices involved are exactly that.
I also don’t care. I don’t care about your fee fees. I don’t care about your “moral superiority”. I don’t care that you think the left or the right has gone off the rails.
Actually that last one’s not true. I do care, because if you cannot see that the right’s extremism is different and far more dangerous than the left’s then you aren’t paying attention and the rest doesn’t matter.
It’s been talked to death, but for those in the middle-section cheap seats here it is once again…
The right wants less people voting, less rights for all, more pollution and less controls on pollution, more white power (AKA Nazis), more guns, a national policy based on Internet conspiracy theories and an America First policy that leaves so many people out of the decision making process. People of color. People with disabilities (like me). People with non-binary lifestyles. People who love people who fit into these categories and ANYONE else who doesn’t look like they do, think like they do and march in locked goosestep with them.
The left wants what… less cars that burn gas? Less fossil fuels all around? Higher wages? Equal access to the voting booth? The right to marry and love who we choose? A cleaner more ecologically stable world?
O… M… G! Those diabolical leftists… What will we do? WHAT WILL WE DO?!?!?!?
Cry me a fucking river you jackass, self-absorbed whiners.
But please for the love of everything you hold holy pick a side, and then feel free to stop...
Stop telling everyone about how yours is the only way that makes sense. Stop telling us about how we are the extremists and it’s turning you off. Stop mewling. Stop ranting while standing on a soap box and shaking your fist at the whole world. We just don’t care. PICK! A! SIDE! and then feel free to…
SHUT…
THE…
FUCK…
UP!
