Politics specifically, nothing. But if you are the kind of person who violates the social order, no matter how mundane or harmless your behavior is when you do it, don't be surprised when people don't want to have you around anymore. They don't want to see the kind of behavior you demonstrate when you realize that consequences don't apply to you for whatever reason.

If you want a political example, a pardoned January 6th insurrectionist is currently in the news for threatening the house minority leader.

People don't remember the "9 times out of ten" you were cool as hell, they remember the one time you crashed out and made everyone feel uncomfortable or unsafe, and they think about that every time someone has to decide whether to invite you out somewhere.

Huh.

You manage to take exactly the opposite point of view I took from it.

Not sure what the says about you, about me and about the post, but it does - I guess - open up the floor for further discussion?

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
