this is the part that slays me, like "but I'm telling the truth and have points and you're just yelling." but nobody comes by and declares me the chad and them the soyjack. We need like a team of nonpartisan judges to tell people they're owned.

It’s not something you can counter with logic, which is immensely frustrating. There are people in my life that I work on and they seem to get it and then I leave and the bullshit just seeps back in. It’s always worth trying if only to reaffirm where you stand.

Sometimes it's also just insane how much work is being done in opposition. My grandma was slowly becoming someone unrecognizable (she was never political) and it turned out before my dad passed he used her facebook and followed all the charlie kirks, bonginos of the world. I silently unfollowed

person she always was and not hallucinating crime around every corner.
