This is just an FYI to those who are triggered by my political posts on my Facebook wall: I do not support any presidential candidate. In fact, the last time I voted for a president was in 2004. I still join the electoral process, but primarily to vote for LGU candidates as their decisions have more proximal impact to my household.
The infuriating results of the 2004 presidential elections coupled by our country's sad, sad political history made me this way — a savagely cynical netizen hardened to every statement made by all these SUGAR-COATERS. That's why I just consider national politics as a much higher form of comedy. I still find the verbal tussle between Juan Ponce Enrile and Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago highly entertaining than Vice Ganda's toilet humor. Well, there was a sliver of hope in Noynoy Aquino, but at the end of his term, it turned out to be just that — a sliver. I also thought that Rodrigo Duterte was Claro M. Recto's dream president. Turns out that I'm wrong.
They are all different ingredients of the same substandard pizza.
So if you feel slighted that I'm zeroing in on your candidate, you shouldn't. They're all the same to me. I sometimes make comparisons, but that's about it. Besides, I am not an influencer. No matter how I put down any one of them, it won't matter. I'm just another spoke in the wheel, so chill. I treat ALL of them the same way: for the clowns that they really all are.
Politics has become so divisive, and it saddens me. That's why I just make fun of it.
Don't treat politics as if it's a religion to die for. Politicians will not and cannot redeem us. Whoever you install in Malacañang, our country will still remain in shambles as long as we do not recognize our national identity. Embrace it, then everything will fall into place. Including politics.
