This is the most worthless comment I've read on lemmy yet, not only is it wrong or also acts smug about it lmfao get outta here
Your entire comment history is antagonism or insults. I rarely even think this much less say it, but: please go back to Reddit. You’re the reason we all left there.
I was gonna reply doing the same thing but I checked my own comment history and nah you got a point. Didn't realize how consistently irritated I get on here, I only comment when it's something that pisses me off. Thank you for pointing that pattern out, it's not something typical of me irl, as I tend to work around a variety of people in political spaces and am accustomed to working around differing ideals. Obviously, that doesn't show at all in my comment history.
That type of commenting isn't how I like to talk to people in real life, as I prefer to treat everyone seriously. I think that I kept deciding to just say fuck it for a second and go off, which lead to what you see there. Anyways, thanks again for pointing it out, I was unaware overly toxic I've become on here.
Edit: meant to also say I'm gonna make a point to talk to people the way I do irl from here on.
I was feeling all warm and fuzzy about your response, and thank you for it! Then I watched myself go write a similar comment a few minutes ago so… yknow, no one’s perfect 🤷♂️✌️
Based on documented state voting the majority of the population would agree with my statement. You are in the small minority. Bitch all you like, that will not change.
I said in a earlier reply that gay marriage was voted against many times, in multiple states all across the USA. That's what I was referring to, feel free to Google it.
Please, just do a simple Google search and educate yourself:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_opinion_of_same-sex_marriage_in_the_United_States
Gay Marriage has had one of the most radical changes in public opinion of any concept in general. The overwhelming majority of people are in favor of it, to the point that it would be law even in places you would not expect.
I said what I said about your comment because it was smug and objectively untrue. Nothing irritates me more than that combination. Please, understand the way you learned things years ago does not determine the immutability of them.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_constitutional_amendments_banning_same-sex_unions
That's a quick Google search. It barely made it through the supreme court, passing 5/4. I'm not sure where you are gathering your information, but it's skewed.

Dude did you even read my original comment? I said that the public opinion towards same-sex marriage has changed drastically. I appreciate you linking an article from 2014 from a highly biased conservative site, but, aside from the bias, it has no relevancy as the source I linked to you was as of 2022.
Show me a source that actually supports your claim.
Also, I added the first additional link I found as anyone can update Wikipedia without validity.
