Were you living under a rock in 2021/22?

Maybe lives outside the US. Or just not living maybe in a "battleground" state like Ohio, Michigan or Pennsylvania.

If you live in a solidly Democrat part of a state that's also solidly Democrat, it's possible you're like double-landlocked away from this sea of politically-supercharged excrement. In areas where most of the political campaign money ends up, even if you don't want to pay attention, you're force-fed this shit wherever you look.

I'm sorry for those who find themselves the direct target of republican propaganda. Trapped like labrats in a hellish social experiment of overexposure to nonstop toxic messaging, billboards and robocalls where "Biden's coming to tAkE yEr GuNz!" or "Kamala Harris hAz TwO mOmMiEs" or whatever, on top of what's already on the national infotainment industry.
