The cure is critical thinking.Basing judgment on facts rather than what your preferred group is saying. Don’t become a NPC, a non player character . Plenty of real dissent and debate here on Free Republic. Not much on the other side .
Agreed. The way back is to return to an age of reason. Classical philosophy, logic, truth and beauty, belief in God, family, and country, these are foundational to wholesome and healthy living.
Deplorables united is saving our country.
While there is a lot of debate and critical thinking on this forum, there are also a lot of replies that just spout venom at the opposing side. And there are a lot of nasty reactions to people who step even a little outside of the accepted thinking.
It is possible to feel “shunned” on Free Republic. It’s happened to me, but it doesn’t drive me away. I’m not a millennial; I don’t believe that we are guaranteed any safe spaces. Still, it would be nice if people could voice their disagreements without hate, anger, or disrespect.
