Edgy Conservative Kids

I am sorry gang. I could not think of a better name for this article. Of course, as you can tell, today's topic will be about kids who are conservative. They may also be edgy.

The first thing I want to do is try to define the term "edgy". It's one of the terms that I understand, but I can't really explain. If you showed me a kid I could tell you whether he was edgy or not. Here's my best try: Someone who is edgy tries to stick out against the popular belief. Edgy people try to stray from the norm. 

I know many kids who can be defined with said term, and I'm sad to inform you that I once was one of these kids as well.

I don't know if these kinds of kids are prevalent in other states, but I know they exist here in Bellevue. 

The majority of Bellevue's population is left or at least leaning. These kids are right because it strays from the norm, being left. 

Of course there are right people in Bellevue, but these kinds of kids try to emphasize their opinions. They purposely say things that they know will trigger people. They purposely bring up controversial topics. 

Now with BLM being quite the controversial topic, I noticed more and more people say this phrase: "All Lives Matter".

I know that in the previous article I have used this phrase, but I don't mean the same thing. 

Most of them also have the same thing in common: They all watch Ben Shapiro.

I'm not quite sure what Shapiro does, I just know that he goes around the country talking about his right-side thoughts. Some of them make sense, but others don't. I won't get into what he says, because that would make this article really long as well as controversial. Anyways, he has a catchphrase: "Facts don't care about your feelings". This seems to resonate among these conservative kids. They'll try to say things that they believe are factually sound, and if it hurts someone's feelings, they'll say Shapiro's catchphrase. 

I used to believe everything that Ben Shapiro said, and I would get into heated arguments with people based on things that he said. I'm glad to say that at least I didn't go to the point where I actively seek out arguments or hurt people's feelings on purpose. 

These kinds of kids are also smartasses. I don't mean that they are the smartest of their generation, but that they will always find witty responses to things. They will say things that will annoy people. 

There are also some of these kids who self branded themselves as communist. Well I know a few kids at my school who did that. They learned the communist anthem and would sing it everyday. Here's what confuses me: Communism is a left-side idea, but these kids are also right-side. 

I knew they weren't serious about politics. They just do whatever makes them edgy, whether that be leaning right-side or being a communist.

Well that ends it for today's blog. Thanks for reading!
