— How do millions of Americans absorb such predictable, inflammatory political rhetoric day after day? – JERRY DAVICH (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on why they read the newsletters and on how they treat me. The only legitimate reason to read the newsletters is to get information to help elect Republican candidates who can and will defend and advance the Republican Party platform including its traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/post-tribune/opinion/ct-ptb-davich-reader-responses-rhetoric-st-0707-20210706-zp7agrozend3texrdewp57awg4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On the Fourth of July, I finally sought independence from the daily emails I receive from right-wing, ultraconservative organizations. One by one, I unsubscribed after months of this digital rhetoric crowding my email accounts. I initially subscribed to Conservative News, The DC Statesman and Patriot Central (to name a few) to keep me updated and informed about views from conservative or Republican-leaning sources. I feel this is important to find the needed balance to better understand complex issues that face America. Many mainstream media sources tend to lean left, so it was important to inform myself with right-leaning stories and opinions about presidential politics, controversial issues and international affairs. I’m interested in viewpoints that don’t embody or reflect my own, as long as they’re not based on lies, mistruths or propaganda. However, after more than a year of receiving daily (and sometimes hourly) emails from so many similar-minded sources, I had to end the madness. Not so much about the content of each email, but the barrage of emails from each source. A relentless, nonstop machine of rhetoric, half-truths and twisted interpretations. Everything is viewed from the narrow prism of conservatism, just as most everything is viewed from the narrow prism of liberalism from left-leaning media sources. I couldn’t take it any longer. I figured the Fourth of July was an ideal day to purge all of those email subscriptions, including from former President Donald Trump, a billionaire who’s been asking me for donations for five years now. Honestly, I don’t know how tens of millions of Americans can absorb such predictable, inflammatory political rhetoric day after day. What I find to be emotionally exhausting must be exhilarating or validating for them. Maybe it stokes feelings of anger or suspicion or bitterness that requires fresh shovelfuls of animosity every morning in their email inbox. It only dug a hole for me, and I’m finally climbing out. No wonder our country is so divided and so cynical about anyone who thinks differently than them. I blame both radical sides, each unwilling to look for a common ground of understanding in the quicksand of political power. Each camp is convinced they’re on the right side of history — never the wrong side — regarding the polarizing issues of this era. On the Fourth, I thought about all of this while deleting more than 200 accumulated emails. It was a cathartic hour for me.)
