Lighten Up, Don't Take Your Politics Too Seriously
(Edited)
The world has been watching the US presidential election very closely for the past few weeks and the drama isn't even over, yes. A lot of people have become fiercely partisan. Too much time is being spent on Twitter being whipped up into a frenzy.
This diagram applies to American politics but it also applies to politics in other countries to varying degrees. Your views are mainly a result of your experience, which can change.

Thinking people look on, aghast...
If you think only the left is capable of such things, you're being willfully blind. The hysteria is at the core of the problem. The US is not even remotely close to horrors like that but many types of nasty outcomes are the more likely the worse the hysteria gets. There could be widespread riots causing deaths and injuries and damage to property, for example.
I'm not blind, eyes wide open.
Left and right are the same thing - Socialism or fascism - both lead to tyranny/dictatorships.
Collectivist mindsets - left or right - is the issue.
As long as collectivism is seen as a sane perspective, then insanity will rule.
(the left are soooo sensitive - it's fun mocking their childlike philosophy. Their sensitivity to criticisms is very telling... Easy target, I know. Ooops).
I agree with collectivism, left or right, being a problem.
What I'm saying here is that people shouldn't take political affiliations too seriously. They are a form of collectivism. It's the very political hysteria that's keeping a lot of people from thinking straight now. I wonder who benefits.
...the tyrants , the dictators, the corporations, the technocrats.

Political parties are so incredibly narrow and black and white with their views, more so in the US than here in Finland. I can't say I could be in favour of any particular party, and of course one's priorities keep changing throughout life.
The US election system where only one candidate is elected from an electoral district is problematic because it causes a two-party system form. Each of the large parties is an umbrella containing various factions. It's hard to find a platform that didn't have parts you hated.
I wouldn't mind voting an environmentalist party that was for nuclear power and somewhat more conservative values with a touch of nationalism than our Green party. But what can you do. If you like nuclear fission and don't want you know what's going on in Sweden and the UK but would like to protect the climate, there is very little you can do.
