      Yep. It’s quite literally an expression of power for them. Pointing it out does nothing but feed them.

      Yeah, the left wing and right wing are basically always pissed. But when you piss off the centrists and non-politicals, that’s when shit starts happening. Not that they’ll do anything, of course. But that support means a lot when you’re talking about keeping their mouth shut at certain times, or not reporting certain things.

          Did I say that at all? I made one comparison. And I am in one of those groups, so why would I compare myself to the other?

          Edit: and yes, I have been pissed ever since the department of Justice let that vile piece of shit run for office while on trial for dozens of felonies. I feel I deserve to be pissed about everything right now.
