The debate last night was very different from the one a month ago. Last night we saw the candidates make actual points about plans that they do have for the future while last month we saw a show to create the most amount of views and laughs. The GOP debate was clearly a stage for the candidates to tear each other apart and for candidates to blow matters out of portion to keep the camera on them. Last night we say the candidates make actual thought out points instead of trying to make the other candidates look bad. The reality tv comedy we saw last month is something completely separate from the higher level argument of valid points last night. Instead of a game of what did Trump say about you and how can we make him look more idiotic then he usually does, we say people making educated statements to further themselves and gain favor that way.
The BIG sort, with all these people shifting and moving to places where they feel more aligned with the people around them. People moving to the country to flex their rights and bear their arms and what not. While the latte drinking nay sayers and protester love those urban jungles. Why is this happening you may ask, We LOVE to feel comfortable and that means being around people that agree with us because we really love being told we are right. No one loves to have things thrown in there faces (especially those latte drinkers over there in the jungle). So we just categorize ourselves into safe little niches and make sure we are always agreed with. But wait we are never questioned never forced to think about or defend our ideas. This creates a stagnation of thoughts and does not promote a growth in the populous. This right here folks maybe one of the biggest issues in current America. If people are never given the chance test there ideas under the heat of other beliefs they will never truly understand what it is they believe in or why they should believe in it. This is why I think this could effect our democratic system in a negative way.
