In other words, even more political stuff. For whatever reason, I get the urge to respond here on this blog to the stupid (or more nicely, things I disagree with) things that eyelashes guy says. In this post election period, such things have grown in quantity. I don't want to say exponentially, because it might not truly be exponentially even though it is a nice word to use for dramatic effect.
Today's stupid thing that eyelashes guy said is that he disagreed with the ideas put forth in a Slate article entitled "There's no such thing as a good Trump voter." I think I read this piece within the last week although I did not go back and refresh my memory of it before writing this post. In any case, for me personally, suppose I discovered that someone I knew/was decently acquainted with at the least, had voted for Trump. This would cause me to reconsider/reevaluate my relationship with said person. Like I think I said in a previous post, voting for Trump indicates that a person condones (or at the very least, doesn't consider to be too abhorrent) the various offensive things he's said about numerous groups of people. This, for me, is a mark of (negative) character, which goes back to the title of the Slate article. I understand eyelashes guy's position, I suppose, seeing as (like I mentioned last post) his mother who I assume he holds dear voted for Trump. So it makes sense that it would give eyelashes guy some *cognitive dissonance* (there's that term again!) to be faced with the idea that all Trump voters are bad people. But like I said earlier, a vote for Trump, in my opinion, is an implicit endorsement of the (unacceptable) ideals that he has hawked throughout his campaign. Which brings me to another point - eyelashes guy thinks we all should give Trump a blank slate and a chance to be successful. I covered this topic in my previous post.
Another topic that I plan to write a bit about at a future date is the idea of liberal bias in the media. That's it for now, but as long as eyelashes guy says stupid things, these posts will continue!
How are you liking my political opinion pieces? I fancy myself a real (liberal, obviously) political commentator now.

As a parting thought, it seems that eyelashes guy has gotten me to think/consider a bit more deeply the whole politics thing. Particularly eyelashes guy is a conservative voice/perspective that in the past, I will admit, I never (would have) paid attention to. My little ideological bubble has... somewhat popped. The only reason I pay attention to eyelashes guy though is because of his eyelashes. I do think he's intelligent even if I don't agree with his political position.
