It is funny. The pic you have as your icon image is actually used in a story that my third-grade class reads as part of their technology innovations unit. I'm not sure why someone would assume it is your own personal photo.
Spoiler I can tell you that my picture is definitely me...or at least a VERY good representation......
But it's good to learn about them. Just listened to an interview with this author, fascinating stuff.
Yes. Half the people seem to think I am a smug liberal and the other half think that I am a minority hating Southern Republican.
Yeah nobody can actually have nuanced opinions on different questions. We must all hate the other side.
Have you seen Kellyanne Conway lately? She popped up on youtube and literally scared the **** out of me.
Brah, The GOP base chose a candidate out of a field of 17 that started his GOP career trying to find Obama's birth certificate in Kenya. You obviously have a major blind spot for the prevelence of right wing fanaticism. Spend four years in Marine infantry barracks and you would know exactly what I mean. I've spent the past decade in both bubbles, from Marine Infantry barracks to one of the most liberal universities in the country even though my field is in STEM and I can safely conclude that the the right wing bubble is far more intolerant of any views slightly differentiating from the narrative. The "far left" wants an economic system similar to Canada. The "far right" wants an ethnostate in a nation that already has a massive amount of non Caucasians deeply imbedded in the nation. Now tell me which end state is easier to defend on a moral basis where morderates are more likely to sympathise and defend? The right wing has co-opted the term "Communism" which tradionally means the elimination of private property to any desire to expand social programs that mimic almost most of the developed world. Congrats on being successfully brainwashed buyng into said co-opting.
