Some how the extremists on the left and right always need everyone to agree with them completely, almost a cult on both sides. In the end, I believe what I believe. I need no one to validate it or accept. I am confident in myself and what have learned and continue to learn. I still change my mind on things as new evidence comes to light....on anything.

I really think many extremists are just simply beyond unhappy and always looking to blame some one else for their own feelings of doubt. My first thought with your post was...wow someone from Ireland, I have Irish from my mothers side. I thought, wow perhaps I can converse with this person. But alas, when all you look for is demons that is what you will find.

Well said sir. I really don’t identify with either side and make up my mind on a case by case basis by listening to what each person says and deciding if I feel
will do a good job and serve the best interest of myself and others when elected when I vote. Landing somewhere in the middle I often feel alone because I use critical thinking and my own moral compass to make up my own mind rather than toeing a party line.

As it pertains to this topic she posted some things that she believed I didn’t agree with her but hey she’s entitled to her opinion and I scrolled by and went about my day. I think had she left the Holocaust comparisons out of it some people would still be upset, some would still agree with her and they would argue about it online for hours ,but she would have stood a better chance at remaining employed. Again that’s just my opinion.
