That devil is T H I C C 🥵 (No one was saying it, so I had to.)
Almost literally a conversation I had. Started out political, then went on the mermaids and how the earth is really made up of giant bones or something.
Literal brain rot
Generally, extreme conspiracy engagement is associated with a loss of agency in a person’s life. I imagine they had a terribly tough time at some point in the past.
I feel like a few years ago, “you are just insane” would work. In this post-factual period though, there is too many “just insane” people. I remember when disinformation was mostly harmless on the greater scale. It’s not the case now.
Even in hyper-conservative NW Florida I can’t remember the last time I saw a red hat. Not only MAGA hats, but any red hat. Had to chunk a perfectly nice Under Armor because it was that shade of red.
The county where I live voted Trump 3 to 1 in the last election. MAGA hats and flags are rare. I think they assume everyone here is on the same idiot page and don’t need to signal group identity.
I have a red Spider-Man hat that says “Thwip!” on the front in blue, but I don’t wear it because I don’t want to get judged (or hit) from behind.
That must be why I didn’t get covid. I like tonic water. Must be that one drink doctors don’t want you to know about
Back in 2017 there was a guy in my town who would constantly wear a maga hat and sing praises about trump. We’re not in America, we’re in Iceland. He was not American and had no ties there. I no longer work at a place where I have to interact with him.
Still counts as 1 vote
Or 3 California votes, if you live in fly-over country.
