It’s a total nightmare.. if you have any level of empathy, moral integrity and intelligence it’s a depressingly vile place…

For sure. And I feel like MAGA have become even angrier and more abundant on X since AFTER the election. Lots of “THIS is why you lost!” followed by whatever their own personal grievance is.

Yup.
And the nasty racism, attacking of every single issue with some warped conspiracy… phew I’m glad to be out of there. I’m getting anxiety thinking about it. 🤣

I don’t want to be in an echo chamber either, though, so I’m still not totally happy. I DO like arguing - but I try to find primary sources and argue in an informative and CIVIL way. There’s a HUGE lack of civil conversation available there at present.
