i cannot imagine the life of someone who wakes up angry and hateful because there's a sitting president they don't like.

what other explanation can there be other than this is their baseline. they normalized feeling anger and hatred every single day. they live in fear of one person's decision.

it never fails to amaze me when i read notes from them.

people who go all in on politics—to the point of it being a primary identity—make me uneasy...

me too. i have already muted people and filed them under _hopeless_ before even engaging with them.

That is how I lost Sam Harris. He used to be an inspiration for me until Trump came along and revealed that other side of him.

is he still that way? at one point i think he completely contradicted himself in the way he handled his politics in public and what he was trying to teach people.

No, no, he is getting worst. Someone confronted him about his COVID statements (which were really bad and didn't age well) and he starting cursing like a drunken saylor and saying that IF the virus would've been more letal and targeted children and healthy people instead of the old and obese, he would've been called a hero and Joe Rogan would be a criminal.

Things like that.

haha! that sucks and i almost feel sorry for him.

The best thing some people build is their own hell.
