FYI: There are people who are so easily gas-lit and suggestible that they’ve spent the last week trashing the recently departed John McCain and his grieving family for holding a funeral. Seriously. An American POW and war hero, a man who served the country for fifty years. They went after him. They went after people who were sorry to see him pass. They went after the wife and the daughter.
It boggles the mind.
But why would people do that?
It’s because tribal affiliation has completely taken over their lives and their identities are totally wrapped up in it. They tune into their cable news channel each evening to receive their marching orders and direct instruction on what to believe and what to forget they’ve heard about. In other aspects of their lives, they demonstrate the same blind loyalty and unquestioning faith, so why not in the culture wars too?
There are people who choose to have others do the thinking for them. There are people who decide what team they’re on first, before considering any individual issue or question. There are people who are so swept up by the emotional reward from feeling like they’re a part of one side, that even the mere suggestion of the other side having a point becomes a sort of sacrilege unto itself.
These are the Unreachables.
