I had typed this in another thread, but didn't want to derail it, so I thought I'd start my own thread.
I have thought this whole time that what was going on was a D vs. R thing. I have now decided it's more of a Collectivism vs. Individualism thing. If you don't fit into the collectivist mold, you are shunned and discarded and your thoughts and opinions are unimportant to the collective. You are labeled and put in a "box". I have gone quiet on Social Media for some time because I was afraid my thoughts would be ridiculed. I got sick of being called a Right Winger and a Trump supporter even though I don't feel like either of those things.
I've decided that I'm going to do a better job of reading with an objective eye what I see posted and attempting to respond in a manner that communicates my thoughts without attempting to label the people that I'm having discussions with.
Holy Crap, that reads like a Patriot Post. Look how many times I used "I".
Next up for me, I'm going to read
Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief
