People get VERY ANGRY with you when you ask a question they cannot answer honestly without betraying their rigid political ideology. Why?

If the question were way off mark what is there to get angry about? But if it hits the bullseye and there is no reasonable way you can refute its implication you attack because there is nothing else you can do. It never fails. It always follows the same pattern. No diversity. No creativity. Always the same. AARRGGHH! :(

    Lets perform a test. Are you concerned your interest in politics is past the point of obsession? In your opinion. Does long term rejection/objection of what you cannot change effect ability to cope, manage and change what you can? This post was edited by O-uknow at January 22, 2017 10:26 AM MST

    All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. ~George Orwell

    Nothing forces us to know what we do not want to know except pain.

    Most straight party voters are like that, they get upset if you mention Trump as an example and right away cry foul . independent people think in a more independent and logical manner.
