I think it's valuable to just blog for your own sake as well. It gets you into a habit of putting your thoughts into words, which in my experience helps my understanding of the topic. About offending people - think of it as an opportunity to learn. You put your opinions out there, and if someone points out a flaw in your thought process, you try to see where you went wrong. If you were wrong, you get to make another blog post explaining your new understanding, and thanking the person who helped you get there. If you weren't wrong... well, there are trolls on the internet everywhere, you just learn to ignore them. |

Until you end up being the target of an internet mob bent on harassing you and everyone associated with you until someone breaks.
This is probably a lot rarer than headlines make it seem, but I share OP's anxiety about blogging about anything even tangentially related to politics.
