This comment section is comically unhinged and batshit crazy that it's a good reminder that this platform is infested by terminally online idiots who I should interact less with. Welp time to go touch some grass.
It's weird how this is the thread that would you think that.
Nobody here knows anything about OP's parents or why they like Hegseth or to what extent, and then have hoards of idiots calling them cruel, evil, or vile with zero context. Like I said, unhinged. You just don't see it because you're a part of the mob
Care to provide any specific examples?
Literally all of the top comments. The real question is how can you not see how unhinged they are?
Right, so no examples. Got it.
I'm 100% you're a troll who's being pedantic. But here's an example anyway:
That's one of the top comments. All we have is the second hand account of OP who vaguely stated that his parents like Hegseth. We have no idea who they are, what they stand for, why they like Hegseth, or to what extent. Yet people like this commenter took the liberty to just make unhinged baseless assumptions about how they're cruel and evil. That's unhinged. If you can't see it, you're probably unhinged yourself.
That's not unhinged at all, you need to pull your head out of your ass and pay attention to what is happening.
If you support what this administration is doing, you are cruel and evil.
No, you're an idiot. Making up assumptions about random people you don't know makes you a deranged lunatic. That's not an endorsement of politics but a call out of loser behavior.
