A steady dose of progressive propaganda will do this to the mind. Being told that climate change is real and the earth is going to burn in your lifetime. Being told there is a racist around every corner. Being told that the world is made for men and woman are second class citizens. Being told there are 1000 genders and that you should explore these “genders” and see if one of them is right for you. Being told we need to defeat a virus that is already worldwide or else it will kill us all.

I can go on and on. Conservatives are also just happier since they get outside more, are more likely to be in good physicial shape and take on personal responsibiliy.

Obviously this guy is just trolling but the idea that conservatives (who one the whole are older and live in more rural areas with less access to healthcare) are more likely to be in good physical shape than liberals (more likely to be young and live in cities where there are wide healthcare opportunities) actually did make me laugh a little.
I dunno I mean if you look at their comment history it’s all “climate change isn’t real” and “why won’t the lefties tolerate my intolerance” kinda stupid shit.
