It isn't even paranoia. That's the pattern. Back before the Great Reddit Enshittification people were noticing and posting. Controversial bills getting fast-laned in single sessions. Stuff being pushed on weekends. News Stations yelling about some story for a week while a shitty footnote was thrown into some funding bill. Then all too often around nationwide voting periods a major conflict being headlined.

It divides us. Using the most recent conflict, Gaza: Pretty much everyone who isn't evil agrees that's a terrible situation. Though it is sowing discourse. The exact same tactics Republicans use to work disagreements are being used to trample on people who beg for us to not let Trump succeed.

I'm just worried, I guess. This happens nearly every time. The Right bands together last minute to shit on the other guy and the left is too busy arguing amongst themselves to notice. Then we all talk about it and the process repeats.

Fuck.
