    My SIL has a terrible habit of starting political arguments and then very quickly jumping to “I don’t want to talk about it anymore” the moment it becomes clear that she is in over her head, which is objectively hilarious. Wouldn’t want to accidentally hear something that makes her consider the contradictions in her beliefs.

    She has very little self-control - it’s like a bat signal goes up when she overhears someone talking politics that she disagrees with, she just gets dunked on every single time and still can’t help herself.

      That’s very funny. I try not to be elitist, but honestly it’s hard not to judge people’s intelligence. It takes a very specific and malicious kind of stupidity to maintain chud beliefs. If you’re dumb and a kind/good person you’ll be a communist no doubt, or actually apolitical. “Why can’t we all just be nice to each other?!” As a genuine question, because it comes so easily and they struggle to imagine how others fail to do it. If you’re dumb and an angry little 12 year old, you’ll be a chud.
