You think they’d taste that good? They probably taste like hate, fear and ignorance.

This is just funny enough to outweigh the gross. Barely, but just enough. Either way, I still hate it. Well done, but 🤮

Because in reality it isn’t 2/3, it’s only 1/3. There is an equal and opposite 1/3. This leaves only 1/3 that are working rationally. It’s why nothing gets done. Each side fuels their base 1/3 and tries to pull a simple majority form the remaining 1/3. That 1/3 is trying their best to remain intellectually informed and guided and not pulled into one or the other irrationally charged direction.
