"I’m just morphing into a strange Libertarian"
To be honest, we're all a bit strange!
The polarization is becoming a serous problem. I'm just an hr or two away from you in CT, but the same progressive (I think Re-gressive) mindset is pervasive. It's distracting us from making actual progress, because we are wasting energy trying to decide who can and cant wear a sombrero, instead of closing our 3 billion dollar budget gap.
Identity politics is going to be the death of us if we are not careful.
Politics/media is appealing to the worst and weakest in us right now. It is really troubling...
Stay strong! haha
