Haahahaha.

Very true.

I feel like politics makes people feel like they magically can have strong opinions about things. Like climate change.. how the jet streams work and all that is pretty dull, and it's just a scientific question... people who study science and have done research can have a strong opinion, but regular people don't really have any reason to

kind of like if you asked some other question, like how a tendon connects with a bone or something, people would be like "i dont fucking know, i'm not a doctor"

but when it's political people magically become experts and have a big opinion

And ya, I think you're right.. people thinking they should get free abortions (meaning, other people pay for it.. not actually free lol) is pretty wild.. but it's probably a reaction to other people trying to make it illegal.

like oh okay, then we'll try this

Politics in that sense is basically like removing it from personal and intimate. Overarching, automated one-size solution.

And then people rush to extremes as like a political science strategy.

The strategy might make sense within the "game" of trying to win at politics, but then what happens is people actually think they have that opinion.. like they don't realize they're involved in a game of political battle or whatever, they start to just actually think that way about the topic
