Recently I’ve had some frustrating conversations with people. Someone said Oregon is “deeply red”, which sounds like an absolutely unhinged thing to say when you consider all branches of government in OR are controlled by Dems.
I’m sure I was rude to the person, but I tried to explain how ridiculous that is. If Oregon is deeply red then what is Alabama? Just because the rural areas are conservative? I spent way too long on this one.
Anyway how do you handle this kind of nonsense in the world? I usually just say what I’m thinking to people these days, but more and more it’s feeling like I should just stfu and let people believe whatever
Some - sure. But there are a lot of stupid people in the US. George Carlin said “Think of how stupid the average person is and then realize half of them are stupider than that.”
GOP SCOTUS might give them that. Or maybe I should say that justices will eventually give them that?
