Each side seems to collect a certain number of the "unique" people. The right seems to collect the conspiracy theory non-critical thinkers. The left seems to collect the rediculous to the extreme social justice warrior types. And both sides collect few other groups with extreme viewpoints.

Which is 100% correct... if you include both side's nut jobs into the statement. On Sun, Oct 6, 2024, 12:16 PM <[email protected]> wrote: > I am happy being a deplorable “junk” person I guess.
