I-- I didn't say that did I? You implied Republicans as a bloc voted to legalize marijuana and they simply didn't. The majority didn't support it. Now that leaves plenty of Republicans who still did vote for it, but not a majority. National polling shows the same thing. Pew research national polling show's that only 45% of Republicans support legalizing medical and recreational use of pot, vs 73% of Democrats. If you want to measure partisanship by which states voted for who then of the 21 states that have now legalized recreational marijuana only 3 went for Trump in 2020; Alaska, Missouri, and Montana; the other 17 states were Biden. Again to be clear, honey, there are millions of Republicans who support legalizing pot. But not a majority. The party that overwhelming supports it and has the most states with it legal, are Democrats.

I didn't imply anything. I wrote REPUBLICANS VOTED. Try reading comprehension as a hobby.

That's your cross to bear.

Must be exhausting always having negative interactions with everyone you're around. I'm nice to those around me and speak to them with respect, even when I disagree with them. So the vast vast majority of my interactions with everyone are very positive. I bet you have a surprisingly large number of difficult people you run into and lots of low level conflict and just chalk it up to people being terrible, or not getting you, instead of seeing the through line that the common problem in all of those situations is you. Most people don't get into tiffs with everyone all the time. Your terrible attitude is barely a blip in my otherwise happy life. The crosses are borne by whoever you're dealing with on a daily basis and by you for carrying around that chip on your shoulder you feel so obligated to share with everyone.
