These people are the most miserable excuses for humans imaginable. Seriously, why are they so batshit insane? Is it just right-wing media, or are we looking at some kind of nanoplastic syndrome that affects the red states disproportionately?
It's specifically BECAUSE they are miserable but unwilling to look at themselves or their own lives. Rather, they project outward and search for the "real" cause of their problems, who they then hope to persecute.
This is the same for all extreme groups: incels, sov cits, tankies, PETA, and, yes, GOP/Evangelical types.

Wait, DID we give 62 billion to Ukraine in the deal? That would be enough to last until the election, right?
no we gave them a shit ton of overvalued surplus used, old, military junk.
We have very little idea how plastic is affecting the human body. But I wouldn't be surprised if like lead or some brain tumors it increases aggression, causes anti social behavior, and falls into a paranoid fear spiral.
But then again, gen z would be some of those most affected by it and we're seeing a lot more progressive attitudes in gen Z and millenials than older generations.
that was a weird place to put that, I noticed.
I think it's mental logic patterns that were shoved down their throats until that's all they know how to think.
