I hear you, and I tried to phrase my comment as “here’s how that feels” rather than “here’s why you’re a poopy-head”. I’ve read enough of your comments over the years to know your frustration is coming from a good place. I get frustrated too about what might be more productive vehicles for change than others. I broke down and expressed it in a comment about a political cartoon I found wanting. This new post brings up those same feels: Animated series about Donald Trump’s hair from Ferris Plock, Kelly Tunstall, Form & Fiction
But the false equivalence thing really does annoy me too, as it seems like the histrionics during the Obama administration did muddy the waters of truly justified political dissent and fear (of course I acknowledge my subjectivity in using the word “true” here…) in just the same way the truly “Fake” nature of the new and distinct phenomenon of fake Facebook & Twitter news is already muddied by the long-running and specious claims of the MSM being “fake” and “left-wing-biased.”
What I will say is that I get it if the best political comment that one can muster is a partisan slogan, because today is, for me, and I think for a lot of people, truly disorientingly, bizarrely unsettling.
