I struggle not to get involved in the bigotry and hatred I see on Facebook every day. ๐กI hate the over simplistic viewpoints not based on science or evidence that are too common in politics today.๐ I know I should just scroll past those posts as arguing won’t change anybody’s minds. Obnoxious liberals are going to just be that. ๐
