Your observations are ridiculous.
I've been there and done that. It's not any worse than having your ears bleed when overhearing the equally "well informed" urban equivalents talk politics to each other on the subway.
People who support Orwellian government are unfortunately abundant pretty much everywhere and on both sides of the isle. The only significant difference is which groups of people they conveniently craft their policy positions to not oppress and which laws they want enforced with an iron fist.

That may be true but these are his personal observations. He hadn't observed the other side with his own eyes - he can't comment on that, he's commenting on what he has observed.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoAnd I'm calling his observation ridiculous (as suggested) and expanding upon his observations with my own. Why is that not ok? Are we not allowed to tell people they only have incomplete information anymore?
- johnisgood 8y agoWhy did you call his incomplete information ridiculous?
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoBecause he said "some may think my observations are ridiculous" so I figured if I'm gonna reply I may as well oblige.
- johnisgood 8y agoFair enough.
- blunte 8y agoIndeed. I meant "incredulous". My mistake.
- dTal 8y agoFYI, observations can be "incredible" but not "incredulous". "Incredulous" describes the emotion people feel when you tell them your incredible observations.
