Why people post a lot about politics


I get it, some people who aren't political junkies don't understood why those of us who are post so much about politics. 

There are many reasons for this. One-it is an interest to us. Not everyone has the same interests as you do, and what you find terribly dull and boring some people might find very fascinating. in this society today, people take everything personal and can't fathom that their own interests might be boring to others. No, that doesn't mean you personally are boring-it means everyone is not the same. So while you love reading about true crime, zombies, Asian cooking-some of us prefer politics instead. Ironically just by me mentioning true crime, zombies and Asian cooking I'm sure someone might read into and think I'm insulting people who like those things. I'm not, just using them as an example. 

Next, people share political ideas to show others that they aren't alone. In 2016 it can be very isolating to not be in the majority. If you are in the majority, you don't know what I'm talking about. If you aren't, you know exactly what I'm talking about. When you think differently about everything it's a chilling feeling. The left knows how this feels and the right knows how this feels. Speaking from personal experience the internet has helped me a great deal in meeting people who have share interests. So those of us who are political junkies talk about that to reach out to others. 

And yes, we get it-we probably won't convince you to see things our way. You won't convince us to stop posting about it either.
