I’ve been musing a lot on Twitter about how important it is for everyone to get out of their “echo chambers” in light of the recent elections.
So to do my part, I offer myself up as your Official Conservative Friend (or OCF for short).
What would this mean?
It means you can follow me on Twitter and read my blog here to get a better understanding of the convervative viewpoint from someone who is resonably- if not above averagely informed- on American government and politics (I do have my degree in this stuff).
It means I’m going to write a lot more in this area than I previously have since I think it’s more important than it’s ever been.
And it means I’m going to take a lot more questions and be a lot more conversational on this stuff. (Not here- no one uses “comment” sections anymore. Comment on Twitter like a normal person ;)
Bottom line, if you’re looking to hear from a conservative that is well informed but not a wackado, I’m going to hope to fill that void. And if you’re someone who thinks a reasonable, non-crazy person can’t be a conservative I hope to challenge that assumption. But most importantly, if you’re a liberal who feels like your bubble has been burst in the wake of this election and you need a way to broaden your understanding of “the rest of us” you’re most welcome.
We need converstations like this now more than ever. I’m going to start posting more as a way to do my part.
PS- I’ll be tagging all these posts with OCF so you can avoid them if you like. Hate to burst your bubble unintionally ;)
