      No, just a bad mother. They can be either conservative or liberal. Don’t ask me how I know…

      No. My mother absolutely identifies as ANTIFA. Doesn’t mean that the cyclical familial abuse passed her or me by. I don’t treat kids this way, but I also had to do a lot to deprogram myself because of how I grew up. My mother still won’t go to therapy.

      No, that’s just my mom. Not specifically MAGA fan, we’re not from USA. She just fans local wish.com maga variation.

      Which is probably even worse as they literally copy US MAGA talking points without even localizing those.

      It reminds me of one I know. They just need the ”I brought you into this world, I can take you out" quote to make it complete.

        And which team do the resentful morons get tricked into pick?

        I’ll give you two guesses, and the first one doesn’t count

          I have yet to find a team without resentful morons on it. It may just be part of the human condition.

          It’s easier to see the faults in those we already disagree with, and forgive those who are “on our side”. What’s an “unforgivable violation” is a “tragic forgivable character flaw” in someone you already support; “after all they are doing so much good”. You can see some really extreme versions of this line of thought recently.

          It’s totally unreasonable to assume conservatism is the exclusive domain of selfish and short-sighted people. A person who votes the same way as you can still be a mess personally.

              There are a lot of liberals who are only liberal because they find a sense of moral superiority from it. It lets them speak rudely to anyone they disagree with, because those are “bad people” so it’s not actually bad to be unkind to them.

              That kind of self justification of cruelty is a lot of the attraction of most extremist movements, whether it be political, religious, or social. So many people want to be cruel but can’t bear to see themselves as a bad person, so we give ourselves excuses.
