You should be calling return2ozma and TokenBoomer too. The 'I'm not voting for Trump's opponent, but I'm gonna complain about the consequences', crowd.
I did too, and I heard a lot of people in my school only enlisting to kill Iraqi's... I was in 8th grade when 9/11 happened, so we had a few years to let the anger fester before people were able to get out of school and legally go over.
I've had that reaction since the 'support our troops' days of yore.
Well... They're actively pouring fuel on it, so there's some poetic allegory at least...
Not speaking about the democrat party specifically, but about society in general: people are pissed because no one seems to be stepping up and becoming a leader to guide us through what's obviously a fascist and authoritian take over of our country. We'll all just kinda sitting at home reading news and getting mad, but no one seems to be leading country wide protests (that I've heard about at least) or taking a legal, and physical stand against the forceful government takeovers. And we need to be doing it now before our ability to communicate and self organize is taken away (x, Facebook, etc) there's no central place to get a message out country wide anymore because our communication is getting fractured.
Who knows, maybe no on is stepping up because the country seems to have actually voted for this so its what 'the people' want. Who knows. All I know is I'm fucking terrified because my social circle has been in denial about how bad this is going to get, I still hear things like 'he can't do that, its illegal' or 'he can't do that, he doesn't have the power to, that's such-and-such's job'. Not admitting that to a fascist, laws don't matter. He can do whatever he wants now.

June 2018, so (6.5 years ago) was the 'pedo' comment directed towards that diver trying to save that soccer team stuck in a cave...
...not with this administration...
I think this is an offhanded comment, but if you're actually confused about the saying:
There's varying levels of trust, if someone on the street tells you something bizarre, you'd probably be skeptical of it and not believe the information they told you.
But if your wife who you've been married to for 20 years and is generally a factually correct individual, tells you that bizzare information, you'd probably trust it a bit more and believe it, but its still a weird thing they're talking about, so you'd probably want to verify by trying to find a news article or google the subject matter to make sure what they're saying is true. Doesn't mean you don't trust your wife, just that the information they told you doesn't sound feasibly correct, and you want to verify to make sure.
If someone with a PH.D in the subject matter tells you that weird piece of information, you'd probably trust it on the spot, but you also should probably verify with a peer reviewed journal article, just to verify.
Example in the context of your example:
a random person on the street stops you and says your wife is cheating on you. "Wtf? What do they know about me or my wife, I dont even know this person, they're crazy..."
A good friend tells you that you're wife is cheating on you. "Oh shit.. Could she really be cheating on me? I should confront her and find out the truth..."
The guy your wife is cheating on you with, tells you your wife us cheating on you. "Fuck.. This can't be can it?? Fuck! I should confront her and find out the truth..."
Trust, but verify.
I'm curious in what ways the meds changed your NSFW preferences if you don't mind me asking? I'm not on any meds so I'm really curious how those 2 things are linked.
