Word. Not sure I expressed what I'd hoped very well, but hopefully gist got across. Politics or geopolitics, basically big news stuff, has a weird way of bringing out strong opinions from everyone. Not just strong, but that next level of heatedness that is some type of brainwashing resistance. Not sure that makes sense, but surely you've experienced how a normal convo with a stranger can go from cordial to frothing in not time, the second political disagreement comes up. I step into this trap constantly, can't help myself
