thinking of becoming a political chameleon. i get that trump won and everything but having to defend my beliefs against leftists is becoming exhausting. they're so totemic, all i have to do is repeat everything they claim as true and that is enough for them to treat me like my life is worth something and that i'm inherently a smart person.  it compromises my morals but i honestly don't care anymore, i'm sick of being harassed, i'm just going to tell them everything i want them to hear so they'll leave me alone.  in a democratic society, is there any way to legally punish ignorance without using people's own ignorance of how the world works against them? you're going to treat me worse because of what i believe, then i'll behave like an actual villain and won't tell you what my true intentions are, i'll pretend to be your friend so you'll stop harassing me.  call me manipulative but it's not my fault i am punished myself for being honest, i am only retaliating proportionally against people who have initially wronged me, how is that wrong?
