Or maybe the "Left" is figuring out we are all "Outrage Exhausted".

From outside of Europe we're getting (or maybe it's just me) a bit 'American Outrage Exhausted'. It's crazy how people in the US seem to scream at each other from one side of the room to the other, while not really having conversations anymore. News stories aren't news stories anymore, but meta stories about how someone was upset about something (not so) newsworthy.

It's tiring and I tend to avoid more and more 'discussions' amongst Americans (also more and more on Discord lately) as I feel like many people have 'closed their minds' and decided to sit on one side of the political spectrum stubbornly believing they are on the right side without trying to look outside of their bubble.

And yes, I totally know 'not all Americans' :') And there's even some spill-over effect of this behaviour in other countries.

I wish everyone some perspective and difference of opinion does not mean 'bad character'. Personally if I was gay I would hate being friendly to someone who is opposing such a core characteristic of me, but hey, I'm not Ellen, and without having watched her explanation it's not up to me to decide how she handles that and I will certainly not judge her for simply liking George even though his beliefs might in some ways hurt her.
