This. Also politics is one of those cogitation-killing topics (others including sex and religion) that make many, if not most, people just STOP THINKING in which case their monkey-brains take over. 99% of the time, with anything political, "my side" and "my agenda" win out over actually thinking about the issue. No matter what the issue may be.
*hugs*
Thank you for being awesome and rational, even in the midst of crap.
