It does look like you're advertising for drama here. Instead of just quietly changing your habits you felt the need to virtue signal about it. Makes this whole performance feel disingenuous.

If I were unAmerican, I would care less about these social situations that occur. I mean, perhaps I'm taking the wrong view point - you could make that case, but it's your opinion.

Going cold turkey isn't as delicious as the name sounds.

Funny how these frothy liberals attack regardless of the context. It's like all they know how to do is hate.

Hateful little fuckers they are.

Bending over backwards to defend everything Trump does is not a "contrarian opinion".

Relax, I was being a bit sarcastic but I honestly think you should for that reason.

Okay, I'll give a serious response. You tend to get angry over things politically and repeatedly make statements about turning the other cheek then going back on it like an hour later. It's clear that the entire thing bugs you and it really is easier(and probably better for most people's mental health) to pull out and try not to care as much if it's causing you mental angst. Especially if you're to the point where you feel your reputations shot.

But don't be surprised if others try to "drag you back down", because ultimately you can't erase your past history or comments and expect others to cater to you. The best thing you could do if you really want to take a stand is to ignore it and just go about your day. Don't feel the need to respond to every little "slight" or attack, just let it go. You control your level of involvement, not other people.

Oh yes, I'm such a hateful fucker, what with making a sarcastic comment and spending the last 5 days clearly stating that it was only a small percentage of evil people who make up the alt-right and that they don't represent the majority of Republicans.

Idk about any of that, but CE doesn't tend to tolerate any sort of contrasting political opinion because it tends to ruin their narrative of right and wrong.

It says a bit when the concept of moderates goes completely over their head.

Well...appreciate the well wishes. Yeah, I've noticed the same pattern. First I get passionate about a subject, then go on tangents, then I feel bad, then I try to be nicer, and then something else happens, and I get angry again.

It's a vicious cycle.
