Trump rally in Tulsa causing an earthquake and demonstrating a case study

If you used to drink the blue Kool-Aid and switched to the red...you are still drinking Kool-Aid when what your body needs is water. Just sayin'.

I never said I went from left to right. I remain in the center as always.
Kool-Aid denotes some sort of propaganda that I am willingly drinking, but I have stayed away from the propaganda on both sides. I continue to take in information from the entire spectrum and make my mind up for myself. 

Now, it just so happens that where I end up differs from where others end up, and the temptation is to see those who disagree with us as less intelligent, more prone to “buy in” to some information that is being offered, etc. because, hey, if they were really that smart, they’d believe what we believe, right?

It actually doesn’t work that way. I have perfectly rational reasons for where I now sit on the political spectrum, as I’m sure you do as well.From my point of view, those that are “buying in” to the modern-day Three-minute Hate on Trump are doing so because they read mainstream news sources almost exclusively, see themselves as good people, were shocked when Trump was elected, and now seek meaning by doubling down on what those news sources are all too willing to provide them in terms of how to see the world around them - but that is my temptation. 

I’m sure you have found your way to your current views in the same way as everyone else, which is why I prefer not to opine on what I suspect you believe, and focus on what I believe instead.
