Your Politics and Your Intelligence

Your political views aren’t just an opinion, they reveal your values, your capacity for empathy and the way you view other human beings. They show what you choose to ignore, they show the fears you inherited, the biases you never questioned, and the limits of the world you imagine for others. They show who you instinctively protect and who you’re comfortable overlooking. In the end it’s not about sides at all. It’s about who you think deserves care and who you quietly leave behind. Your politics expose the limits of your imagination long before they expose the limits of your intelligence.
