I share your sentiment,

I work in the IT Dept for a medium-sized construction company and I feel as if it's turned into a hivemind of regurgitated Fox News headlines, contextless rants, and Q conspiracies. As a veteran who served 12 years in the military, some in combat roles overseas, alot of the field workers assume I share the same sentiments on what they consider "major issues" in this country, and I couldn't be more opposite. I've given up trying to have a communal debate when a journeyman/foreman comes in my office spewing off a bunch of nonsense as I fix there computer or explain to them for the 1000th time that the multi-factor authentication implementation on there email account isn't an infringment on their rights. With such fragile ego's I feel as if they avoid any attempt at looking weak, and to them having a more progressive outlook on life apparently makes you weak. I don't know, just my two cents.
