Why would I inflict pain on myself by watching a bunch of crazy, hateful people shit into my TV?

Is it Jacob Blake being handcuffed to his hospital bed? The RNC convention speeches?

Why be sick to your stomach when you can be relaxed and laugh at the stupidity?

I assume the OP is talking about the rnc, but as others point out, it could be police murdering black people, 17 year old vigilantes, 177,000 plus Americans dead of Covid...lots to choose from.

If the OP is watching the right wing shitshow, then they only have themselves to blame.

You couldn’t pay me to watch it.
