Oganesson, previous nominee from 2021, loved god, didn't like socialism or questioning the way History could be revised. She didn't fear the coronavirus which got offended, enabling her to claim her award.

COVID wasn't ever a "liberal vs. conservatives" issue, it was a "conservatives vs. some imaginary enemy, and good sense" issue, and the conservatives MADE it that way. I will forever decry whoever (even if they're supposedly on my "side) people who claim that liberals are anyway at fault on this issue. Liberals wanted people (including those who hate them with a psychotic passion) to be safe and alive, conservatives committed slow, destructive suicide to gain imaginary points with the lying bullies that told them lies and made life worse for everyone!

There is a direct correlation with right leaning people and virus or vaccine denial. They can be nice people, but they're not smart people. In no other matter would they push back against the advice of professionals, but they chose to listen to talking heads that probably never took a CPR class, much less attended medical school. To hell with them. They can't die fast enough. We need to stop saving people, because this is a Frog and Scorpion scenario.

Nah, they’re not really nice people when they spread their unthinking, cruel, and false ideas the way they do.

They're decent folk but they have an awful vice. I'm sure if you were stuck on the side of the road or you're having problems with your garage door, they'd go out of their way to help you. As soon as politics gets involved, they turn into bad people that don't care as much for their neighbors anymore.

I live in the Bible Belt and I’m surrounded by these people. Im also cishet and nominally “Christian”. I abhor the fake niceness they give. I do feel that they feel they are genuine, but honestly I have three LGBTQ kids, one of whom is Trans and I shudder to think how these “nice” people would treat them. So I hold a lot of people at bay.

Kids treating other kids equally is the easy part. It's when those other kids go home and their parents start pushing hate on them. Kids don't care about anything other than sharing funny videos and playing games with friends. Whenever a kid has a political stance, it is them being abused by their parents.
