I think Tuxan's earlier reference makes a good case for Politics.
I don't know. Should this thread be in Politics or Health & Fitness?

There are a fair number of low information posters in H&F too, who don't know that they are. Dunning Kruger is everywhere but there are more impostor-syndrome, do know their stuff there.
In the United States, obesity is highest in the black population. And the southern states tend to have the highest black population. Which drives the numbers up in many of those counties. Alabama and Miss in particular.
You think all the obese blacks there are MAGA?
How much of a difference is there between letting kids get too weird with transy stuff and parents neglecting their good example by being hugely fat?
Should conservatives not be as worried about extreme weight as girls with willys?

I think Tuxan's observation adds a different, or at least additional, dimension to your conclusion.
Well, the jury is still out on the trans stuff. Perhaps it is being overplayed. I don't know, that's above my pay grade to determine. But I suspect that some people, since childhood, really believe that they were born in the wrong body. Just as there are people who were born gay. It's not a choice. The fact that it is becoming more prevalent is perhaps because more and more people no longer want to be closeted. Is the issue being addressed too soon in children's lives? I don't know. But I do know that I liked girls from my earliest memory, and never felt "wrong" in my body (except maybe for the height thing). So when is it too early, and when is it not soon enough? Again, I don't presume to know.
Make no mistake, it's not a topic I'm very comfortable with. But in any reasonable society, as long as they are not hurting anyone, we need to let people to live the lives they feel they were meant to live.
As for the hugely fat thing, there is no excuse. That is more of a choice than a matter of genetics. And while fat shaming is unkind, fat normalizing is dangerous. Because to a fair degree, it IS a matter of choice.
I was born in the USA, have never had a passport and have never been outside the USA.
I live in florida (after NE and CO) just 2.5 hours from Disneyland but have no interest in seeing wokeland.
Actually, I don't doubt you. You are very Floridian.
By any chance do you play a lot of war video games and have been indoctrinated by Russians? They like to drop tbe prop in these settings.
Yeh whatever. You can play data games all day on this.
Kusilvak Census Area in Alaska. 62% democrats. 8,000 people in the county.
Not sure that makes a big maga case either. Probably ditto for the other "examples" if I looked at them.
Maybe you could stick to not knowing anything about Canada politics instead of not knowing anything about American politics.
Sure, I'll just follow your lead.
