I was in much the same position back when Reagan was elected. The MSM constantly drummed up accusations against him, and warned us dutifully about the horrible things he was planning to do. I believed it. I was distraught that so many people had been hoodwinked into voting for him, and wondered why they couldn't see the obvious truth that he was going to launch us into a nuclear war with the USSR. Of course, back then there was no social media--otherwise, I'm sure I would have been worked up into a frenzy much like current snowflakes are.
The bad things did not happen. The USSR fell apart. The economy boomed. I still did not like Reagan (and never will; I find his speaking style *extremely* annoying). The fact that the liberal media was so wrong opened my mind to the point that when Bill Clinton was the Democrat nominee, I swore off voting for a Democrat ever again.
What I am saying here is that some of those who are deeply affected by TDS will eventually realize that they have been worked into a tizzy over nothing, and develop a sense of wisdom as a result.
And I don't like reading loser Ex Democrats opinions. Worthless as tits on a mule. Why don't you stuff it.
Very interesting, Reagan was before my time. I agree though, I’m sure many go through this maturing process. It does make you wonder about increasing the voting age :)
The other factor is that, today, there’s far greater voices to listen to, far more opinions - and the media have completely exposed themselves in a way that I’ve never witnessed. It’s as though it’s became so obvious they’ve decided to not even hide it any longer.
...I guess the next election cycle will be telling!
