Counterproductive soviet-style hyperpoliticization of everyday life is now zooming in on us.

So, I am from a country (Bulgaria) that has been under communist rule. It was (and is) a democracy, but the local communists were very close to the soviets, and the anti-communist sentiment is strong to this day (especially amongst the younger generations). <br><br>I’ve been following US politics for years, ever since Trump won in 2016. The political climate that is currently being depicted in the US seems awfully familiar. It’s the same hyperpoliticization of everyday life we had. It’s the same sentiment that caused our parliament to dissolve after a few months of being in session because our politicians couldn’t agree on anything. It’s the same sentiment that is driving people here to vote for people who are not politicians, but, instead, cartoonist, singers, ex-convicts, corrupt oligarchs and other shady characters (because how bad could it be, huh?). It’s the same sentiment that has caused our trust in our institutions to hit rock bottom, and our trust in corrupt oligarchs to skyrocket. <br><br>Our country is in such disarray – we have no functioning government for the better part of the last year, corruption is out of control, and the media is in shambles. It’s chaos, but we’re chaos apathetic and tired – a very strange feeling. <br><br>This is the kind of hyperpoliticization that the US is headed towards. It’s the kind of hyperpoliticization that made Trump president. It’s the kind of hyperpoliticization that made Jordan Peterson a professor, Joe Rogan a virologist, Sam Harris a teacher of critical thinking, and people like Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens main stream politicians. <br><br>We’ve been there, and it’s not good. It’sCounterproductive and it’s chaotic. <br><br>The left is very soviet in its manner of hyperpoliticizing everyday life. It’s making people divide themselves into groups, based on the color of their skin, their ancestry, or where they come from. It’s this loud, clammy, very in-your-face hyper politicization, where you wake up in the morning, get on your social media platform of choice, and the first thing you do is read the news and figure out if you should be a rebel or an oppressor today. <br><br>If you want US to be a better place, you should stop this madness. I don’t care if you’re left or right, but this hyper politicization is making the US worse. Just stop.<br><br>EDIT: I have to say, thanks for the comments, folks. Some of you clearly missed the point of the post, which was that I do not want to see the US look like my country. Some of you clearly dug what I said. Thanks for your words of support. If we want democracy and freedom to thrive, we should stop this shit.
