Lets say tomorrow I decided all of a sudden I like cars. I would go in with an open mind, research and accept whatever knowledge people where willing to give me.

OH GOD! PLEASE TELL ME YOU WANT TO DO THIS! I LOVE CARS SO MUCH IT'S LIKE I'M A FUCKING MEME!

I kid. I kid. . . . Halfly.

You know who fucking loves raccoons and think they would make great pets? People who don't know much about raccoons. They see pictures of them on the internet, maybe a few little videos here and there of them washing their food, making big, cute baby eyes, and doing mischievous, cute, raccoon shit. You know who don't want raccoons as pets? Anybody who takes any extra amount of time to learn about raccoons. Why? Cause they eventually become destructive and do shit like this. Click the video. It's cute cause it's not your house.

People and politics are like people and raccoons. They take what they see on the surface, cuteness, fluffiness, and character. They think that's all their is to raccoons because they don't give them much of a second thought unless compelled to. With politics, people take the quotes and the headlines and the soundbites they see and form their opinions around that. Similarly, they're not going to give politics a second though unless they're compelled to.

There's so much in the world, to have an informed opinion on everything would be a full time job. If there is something your passionate about, inform yourself, and then be an ambassador for your passion.
