I made the mistake of reading some of the replies to this yesterday. Half seem to hate me for being a progressive and the second half hate me for not hating the first half.
On what was already a terribly sad day (Kirk's murder, school shooting, bad news experienced by personal friends), social media only made it worse.
Then I hung out with real people in real life.
Some Rs, some Ds, some in the middle, and everyone had the same basic feelings about everything. That reminded me that the people who rage-reply on social media are a small minority of the country.
Just a reminder that social media is not a real place. And thank goodness for that.
