ConfusedTorchic posted... does being this delusional hurt
I have no delusion. I have no political party. I wouldn't vote for any of the available people. Your just trapped in the my side good your side bad mentality, when both sides are good and bad at different times and both are wrong in their extremes... Hence why it's "extreme".
We have one party who is currently burning stuff and calling it peaceful and its mostly in liberal areas. That's just a fact. Last month we burned Tesla's this month just what ever car's around (and last I checked, burning cars is bad for the environment), they did it for like a year or more last time Trump was president. And it only seems to happen when something rich people don't like is also being done. It's just an observation. If republicans did anything I'd mock them but they don't do anything. They just whine and complain and refuse to fix or address any actual issue. But that seems universal for our goverment at this point.
I know plenty of extreme republican's and they are the same as extreme liberals. Unable to ever except the other side is right sometimes and they are wrong sometimes. You can't talk to them or disagree on any thing or your evil. And that's not how a nation continues to exist.
The delusion is thinking being told to be a human shield is normal (especially in a peaceful protest? shielding who from what?). The little bit of the "peaceful protests" that I actually even saw, that was the best bit. I didn't really have time to see much of it and honestly I know it doesn't matter. They burned a few things in their own town (ie just hurt other average Americans just trying to survive, imagine them burning your car and you don't even like Trump), and cost a lot of taxpayer dollars to keep police and military out in the field.. and nothing will change. Whatever the goverment wants to do.. It'll still do it.

As for what's happening in America, it's basically.. We have two parties. One party ran on a platform, the other ran on "I'm not that other guy". Then right near the end the other party decided to dump there elected runner and install someone who wasn't elected - and the majority of the people picked the party with a platform, because they were tired of 4 years of not having one (and maybe didn't want an unelected president). And now the minority of people who aren't happy with the selected agenda, are protesting that predictably. And the goverment that doesn't want to do that agenda is doing what it can to slow it down for the 4 years it needs to (which is probably about 90% of it), along with a good chunk of the media that's openly bias one way.
Check back in a few weeks and they'll be doing something else, and it won't change anything then either. Or look in to world events that actually matter, like is China going to invade Taiwan and start WW3 this year or not? Or are we just going to let them have it? Is Iran going to get a Nuclear weapon? (well that answer is kind of underway atm). Will Russia survive it's botched invasion of Ukraine? All three are far more interesting to think about or look at. This also won't matter (because you can't change it) but at lest its actual history someone will remember in the future. You could also just focus on your own life, and how to get to a comfortable place in it and be content in it, and not let the world's issues weigh you down.
