Thanks for confirming to everyone you're oddly racist.
Your assumption: you referred to a distinct group among the white: "right wing politicians", but had no such distinction for the black women, who you assume all uniformly oppose such politicians. For the whites you subdivided , for the blacks no such subdivision was stated--other than their gender.
I've always found this attitude kind of belittling. "Hey little guy, my group can have nuanced and distinct disagreements on subject matter. But you guys (pats on head), you're monolithic in your thought and do as you're instructed".

I've made a concerted effort recently to simply try to check anything I hear about anyone, whether I agree or disagree. The churn and fluff surrounding most things now often makes it excruciatingly difficult. I've also found SO MANY OUTRIGHT LIES. It doesn't help that many social media posts are simply trying to drive engagement. so "Trump eats Human Waste for Breakfast!!!OMG!!!" still gets people to engage.

People who drink don't carry around that constant stench that weed smokers do. They've got their own awful smell, but it's not nearly as bad as the constant skunky stench. And yes, I've had people whose sense of smell is destroyed tell me it's not that bad.
I think the real reason for this is the weird "I'm always at home and never leaving my home" thing that developed post COVID. So many people either work from home or only leave their home to work. They have everything delivered, watch streaming whatever, use the internet, and barely leave their house. The idea of going to bar actually frightens them. My sister is one of these, and she gets visibly agitated when having to visit my father on Saturdays, leaving as soon as she can to go home, where she works the entire week. She's got issues with stress, and I keep trying to tell her "maybe you should get out a bit", but it falls on deaf ears.

So I can sign up to get a $10 gift card while the lawyers make millions, with absolutely no mechanism guaranteeing I will actually receive the previously mentioned gift card? Such a win!
These things NEVER pay out, because frankly: why should they? there's nothing that happens if they're shitty about reimbursement. Now I would sign up for a class action suit suing a class action suit....
