I don’t know, I think even in real life people get silly when discussing topics they have strong feelings about, and politics seems to be one of them fairly often.
I saw an economic’s professor start an argument in a coffee shop about Bernie Sanders. And he legitimately said something about Sanders’s socialism leading to firing squads.
Getting into an argument like that isn’t even worth it or possible to win.
I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise, but it’s funny how common it is for these people to also be complete liars about what they’ve accomplished in life.
Is it too much to ask to be an honest racist nowadays? Don’t make me argue with you about racism and lying. That’s just annoying.
