gollark: Besides, caring deeply *and* spending lots of time on investigating stuff and whatever doesn't mean people will share your values.
gollark: But "care deeply" can mean that you feel very strongly about something like "people of the same gender MUST NOT EVER MARRY ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆA MY TRADITIONA L VALUES", not that you, I don't know, are interested in politics lots and know everyone involved in the government and follow all the parliamentary twitter feeds.
gollark: You see, lots of people are actually really stupid and/or have significantly different values.
gollark: Scarier possibility: what if the people voting for them DO care, a lot, and genuinely think that the people they vote for have better policy or something?
gollark: According to random vaguely plausible things on the internet, our strong reactions to politics are derived from the situation during human evolution, when humans were in small tribes and you could directly affect things and they could strongly and directly affect *you*.
