Why are people so sensitive when it comes to politics?

It’s just like talking about religion; it’s a touchy subject. Every single person has their own opinion about it but for some reason, some believe their views are higher & better than others which causes arguments. Some people tell facts, some tell lies, some make up their own facts that aren’t true; so it sparks arguments. And it makes it worse when someone tries to push their views onto someone else. There is no winner; there’s always pros and cons to every side.

Are you a Trump supporter?

[chefsam]

No, I’m not.

[Asker]

Some people cry and say that they are lying on him whenever there is something negative.

[chefsam]

I know people that hate him because of his old TV show he had and that’s it. People will hate and lie for different reasons; I stay outta politics

[Asker]

So people think that everyone is just to lie and hate on Trump for no reason.

[chefsam]

Pretty much. People will hate him for any number of reasons, could be valid ones or could be stupid ones. Same as people like him for valid reasons or stupid reasons. There’s no winning

[Asker]

All you can do is keep your mouth shut because whatever you say can get you in trouble.

[chefsam]

Exactly. Someone will thank you for what you said while someone else is gonna curse you out for saying what you said. Can’t please everyone with your opinions or answers

These past years, I have seen Republicans walking around with guns and making threats, seen them invade the Capitol and injure police, and seen them elect and re-elect a mentally ill convicted felon as President, and heard he and them constantly LIE.

How do you expect me to react to these people?

[Asker]

I was saying there are people in the world that will defend Trump like some people like him as president and then will cry if you speak negative about him.

Because politic is personal preference for me. That’s why i don’t discuss politics with friends or partners.

[Asker]

Like people actually start crying.

It is mostly democrats. They are easily triggered. They even have a poster child.

[dustybiker2]

You should see the mass clips of republican voters freaking out about not getting their monthly income. They son't air that on fox. "I didn't vote for trump for this."

[exitseven]

@dustybiker2 i did not see this. I watched channel 5 news today and did not see it. where was it?

[DrPepper12]

Cuz MAGAs are whiny timid ignorant dupes in a cult.

Cuz Dems are hyper sensitive to stuff that doesn't matter

Cuz our two party system makes avoiding this observation impossible

[HungTexan]

Politics are very personal to some people. It’s almost like religion for them. That’s why I steer clear of both topics much of the time.

[Surely]

I sort of blame the news media propaganda machine. They make up stories and tell half truths or plain lies when it fits their agenda. Then people only watch one outlet and take it for gospel.

[dustybiker2]

Exactly

[lightbulb27]

they don't like to be wrong and their emotions are caught up in their viewpoint.

[chilldude33]

People who are sensitive care about being on the moral high ground. But politics is not about being moral. It's about being efficient as a country internally and internationally.

[In_Trance]

it's beyond me. Politics are small minded shit that really don't matter. Nothing ever changes

[Anonymous]

Why would they not be?

[Asker]

Fuck Trump if they can’t see that he is an asshole that’s their own fault.

It's everyone in the USA's problem when they start aiming missiles tipped with nukes at them.
