I hate the redpill / blue pill meme.
Some many idiots; "I'm a woke AF redpilled republican, surrounded by sleeping blue pilled democratic leftists"
Not realizing the 'red pill' is its own 'blue pill' and the really woke are sitting there like, "Wow, these blue pilled republicans buying everything pro trump/ establishment republican that the powers that be throw at them"
Our problems are not going to be solved simply by voting red and calling the blue team names.
Divide and Conquer. It is a psyop. And it is set up to make you attack the people you should be convincing to help you.
The 'conservatives' and the 'liberals' want the same damn thing. A better country, with less discrimination, and more personal liberties and economic freedom & mobility.
Both sides ignore aspects of reality that do not support their current world view, and paint the other as the enemy no matter what.
No one wants to admit the real problem, first past the post voting. something have been shoved down our throats for generations, and EVERY movement at voter reform ignores!(deliberately? or do the movements just get hijacked and the focus changed)
