Unfortunately, second-guessing yourself is a vital skill. Imagine if you could never change your mind after your first thought on a subject.

Political extremism across the board, really. MAGA is just has the most heinous ideology behind it.

Eh, I'd say there's a lot of second-guessing but people are just so dumb that it ends up like that anyway. And leftist extremism, while it is and can be bad in many ways, isn't as bad as right extremism.

not saying that would have been good for me,, but damned if they wouldn't briefly acknowledge me, and my many fiery deaths, briefly
