gollark: The aim is basically to just associate warm fuzzy feelings with you and bad feelings with your opposition through chains of connections.
gollark: Politics isn't really *about* actual objective facts or truths though.
gollark: Working from a really weird set of assumptions?
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.
