I feel your pain . I gave the left 30 years of my life . They had nothing to offer me in return , even in times of desperate need and anguish , but mockery , ridicule , and demand . So , eventually I came to the conclusion that the best thing to do was to tell them to go fuck themselves and do every civic thing I could to eviscerate them into powerlessness . My suggestion to you is to walk away . Flip them a double bird and tell them to go fuck themselves until they can grow the fuck up and act like adults . It doesn ' t mean you are joining the right . It does mean that you are walking away from a political movement that is rotten to the core and letting them crumble on their own failure to merit . edit You know what would have pacified me ? Possibly even gotten me to give them what they want ? IF THEY ' D JUST LET ME PLAY MY FUCKING VIDEO GAMES IN PEACE
