Cynicism is the gremlin that daily tempts us to surrender.

"Too many people are corrupt! The ones that aren't are apathetic cowards!" the gnarled imp whispers disgustedly. "Why dirty yourself by even trying to reason with the hoi polloi? Don't they actually deserve to be ruled by the biggest and baddest? Find a place to hide and keep your head down and your mouth shut!"

So far, I have kicked the little monster's butt each time he's sidled up unexpectedly to discourage me, but it's nothing if not persistent.

Be vigilant and prepared to resist, ok?

“Keep your head down and your mouth shut” might as well be the mantra of the Democratic Party.

5. It is the height of my priviledge

As a straight white male, I have the potential fall back position to just say "**** it".

I have to remind myself every day that people within the marginalized communities do not have that luxury.

I owe it to them to stay engaged.

:whatever:

Lurking rats, from Skins Island of the Damned, please stop with the fake outrage and pity party. Boo hoo.  :sosad:

This stupid DUmbass doesn't realize that all his "engaged" ideas do nothing but hurt the "marginalized" communities. Not only the height of arrogance but ignorance and just plain stupidity. A true DUche.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Oh, please.
Take a look at ANY of the DU threads mocking the Christian faith and/ or the threads on their responses to conservatives succeeding in any way of you want to see what REAL cynicism looks like.
