Rebutting

If you resist talking about politics, or even thinking about politics, I'll try not to call you a fucking idiot. I will not always - or even often - succeed in this endeavor. I have my limitations.

I do understand that while you're behaving like a fucking idiot, there's an important distinction to be made between acting the fool and actually being one. (Parenting 101)

That said...

... lots of people don't like to talk politics. They say, "What does politics have to do with me? I'm not an immigrant, or a black person, or a Muslim, or a Jew, or LGBTQ+, or a woman, or an old person, or a young person, or a student, or a union member. I'm not an artist, or a journalist, or a scientist, or a public employee. I don't breathe the air. I don't drink the water. I don't live on the coast so I won't be affected by sea level rise. I don't live in an arid region that goes through cycles of drought and wildfire. I don't like chocolate or wine or coffee, or any other commodities that won't be available because of Climate Change. I'm not mentally ill, or pregnant, or disabled - and I'm not currently being shot at, so the EMTs and the cops aren't a big thing for me. And I'm pretty healthy, so doctors and pharmacists and hospitals and the whole healthcare thing isn't all that big a deal for me - so why should I care what a buncha politicians do?

Sorry not sorry, but you're a fuckin' idiot.

Shit - there I go again.
