It’s telling that my views equally irritate my liberal friends and my conservative friends. Likewise, it’s telling my views equally thrill my liberal friends and my conservative friends.

Granted, “equally” is dependent upon the content of my view, where half of my views irritate-or-thrill my liberal friends and inversely half of my views thrill-or-irritate my conservative friends.

Being a registered independent is the proper political affiliation for me.
