I don’t understand the willful ignorance of people, my parents included. I also don’t understand the intentional consumption of negativity. Example: I opened Instagram this morning while finishing up my cardio because it’s a distraction from the mundane. Chad Prather was at the top of my feed. I started following him 7-8?? years ago because he was a standup comedian that I found humorous. He has now morphed into a hateful, absolute lunatic right wing nutter . The video that he posted this morning was him reacting/responding to a Dylan Mulvaney post, and of course it was hateful and derogatory. I did what I should have done long ago and unfollowed Chad. Not because I am a fan of Mr./Mrs. Mulvaney because I am not at all, but because I refuse to intentionally subject myself to that kind of negativity. It has to be a truly miserable existence to devote so much of your time and energy to being negative like that. But there are hundreds/thousands of comments on that post and many others just like it that echo Chad’s words or add even more hatefulness to them.
