    From my point of view people are too easily led, my mom and dad raised me to not necessarily believe what other people told me because they might be lying. Now because of facebook and other social media they come out with the most unhinged conspiracy theories, the people who raised me appear to be long gone, and now they look at me like I’m the weird one because I’m not a racist, transphobic easily led idiot.

    As someone who lives in the US I appreciate how we always have such serious competition with the UK for Superlative Self Sabotage Award.
