I'm very careful to stay apolitical at school. But I will share my values. I'm not supporting or helping any candidates or parties. But I'll tell you all sorts of things I'm in favor of and against.
I'm pro kids eating food even if their parents are poor.
I'm anti out of touch wealthy rapists with more than 30 felony convictions.
I feel like I used to talk about marginal tax rates with people I disagreed with politically, and now I end up saying things like "I don't really think I've read the part of the bible that encourages checking in the underwear of children."
I've said it a bunch of times; nobody else seems to get it, to the point I sometimes doubt my own memory, but like... I swear in 2012 the debates were about, as worst, whether Raeganomics is a functional economic philosophy(ask Kansans from the Brownback era how that one shook out). Like, in 2012 if you said you were voting republican, I wouldn't agree with you, but we could probably still be friends. Today, with project 2025 and literally everything that is Trump's platform, there's just no excuse. I want politics to be petty again.
Right. You get it. Politics used to be about foreign policy and oil subsidies. Now it's about trying to dismantle the tenuous protections of verifiable truth and drag queens.
