      I honestly think having Obama as president for 8 years combined with gay marriage and all the bathroom bills and “men in women’s sports” completely broke a lot of brains.

      In at least some anecdotal cases, people I’ve known that were kind of apolitical now seem to think that women’s basketball and “protecting the children” is of primary importance to the country.

      I mean: what even the fuck. Some of these people don’t even have kids. And don’t even know of one instance of “men in women’s sports” anywhere near them, including in the nearby schools that their kids, if they even had them, would be attending.

      The propaganda network the cons have set up really is something to behold. Sportsball won’t meaningfully change most people’s lives one way or another. Things like clean air, clean water, climate change, infrastructure, health care, a living wage, etc…most certainly will.

      But we are arguing over sportsball. It’s just beyond stupid.
