It's even more shallow than that. I love your brain. I can't even...as a life-long leftist, with how disgusting the left has become. The left now, in totality, is worse than the post 9/11 right. An AMAZING, and well earned distinction. I was politically homeless for a good while, but have now started seeing more value in right wing talking points. And considering the vile things the right has been tied to in my lifetime, it's a transition that makes me go cross-eyed every time I take a moment to dwell on it. I guess I'm now, gun to my head, center-right, if an alien race demanded I define my leanings on threat of global destruction. Of course, there's much more to this than left v right, and I'm not looking at right wing politicians as saviors. Right wing voices have consistently been more sane than their left counterpoints for a a while now, but those in power, who claim to represent either side, are almost completely untrustworthy. - Tyron Bibbons, ESQ Goodbye forever until I log in again. |

Um, thanks.
Ain't seen ya in a while, but always enjoy getting to hear from you! Glad you found something thoughtful and inspiring in my post. 
I don't really and truly know what the hell I am politically these days. The American right subscribes broadly to meritocracy theory and the American left to critical race theory and I just don't buy into either, so yeah. Guess I'm just me really. And I know what you mean when you say you feel politically homeless. So do I.
I consider it kind of pathetic that Fox News is now my favorite of the cable news channels because they're not exactly that honest. But they're often more honest and frankly interesting anymore than the wannabe state media that is the other options. Fun fact: Back when Trump was president, I like MSNBC the best. Guess part of me just finds the sharpest critiques of those in power to be the most compelling.
