@taylorlorenz “It takes a lot out of you to be respectful to idiots all day long, especially when many of them go out of their way to do you harm.” So true.
You are seen. You are not working in vain. Millions of people out there are listening to your warnings, even if it often doesn't feel that way. Maybe it's not enough to stop the worst of everything.
@taylorlorenz I've found over the last few years that I've gotten good and lying and putting on a happy face. I hate that dishonesty of how I live my life.
@taylorlorenz "politicians who allege corruption by their opponents may themselves be perceived as dishonest" ... but in the GOP's case, we have receipts. Over and over, they're caught doing what they accuse Democrats of. I'm now convinced that the pee tape doesn't exist, because if it did, Trump would be accusing Biden of having one.
@taylorlorenz> It explains why you can't criticize billionaires or super rich influencers without that incredibly annoying counter claim: "You're just jealous."
'You Are Not So Smart' has covered this well. It's about our inherent biases - societal, cultural, and (yes) religious influences.
Up till the 90s, if you disagreed with something, you would just blurt out "That's so gay!" (women included). These things take time and society changes for the better (from experience).
