Dude, it's like everyone loses their minds.
You're left leaning friends go nuts, you're right leaning friends go nuts, and hardcore Democrats and Republicans seem to get unnervingly hardcore.
Not to mention every time I've given how I felt about a particular issue, I've literally gotten yelled at from both sides, and when you decide, "Screw it, there's no point to this anyways," you still get yelled for not giving an opinion and that "fence sitters are worse."
And if you try to at least find some solitude away from politics on other areas of the internet, you're still inundated with spam calls, texts, and emails from the Republican and Democratic party urging you to register as their party so you can vote.
It's exhausting, and people wonder why I don't really ever engage in political discourse. Y'all don't like my opinion when I give it, y'all hate it when I don't give it, and when I'm registered as an Independent voter, Republicans and Democrats desperately want to recruit you for votes in a scummy, spammy, intrusive way.
I've considered going completely no contact during elections before just to get away from it all.
