      I don’t have the answer to that one. Maybe the same reason that lies like ‘Asian men have small penises’ and ‘all black people are good dancers’ perpetuate. It sounds good to a bigot and they just assume it’s true.

        That tells me there’s some other undelying reason for the bigotry.

        I’ve felt this for a long time, but the more I watch politics play out, the more justified I feel it is: I think bigotry is a kind of mental illness, a severe one, and it might be connected with other conditions that case paranoia and manic episodes like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

        It’s the only way it makes any sense.

      If u believe the Bible it’s not a lie. The Jews could have saved Jesus. They chose barrabus instead iirc.
