it's my fault for looking at twitter in the first place, but every day unhappy lawyers wake up and craft dozens of tweets which express their subnormal grasp of the american political scene in 280 characters or less. one can only assume this is to punish the rest of us for not having gone to law school.

#it appears to rot the brain in the expected ways but there are other consequences as well #upon further reflection perhaps it stems from the brainrot of believing that politics is like the courtroom (cynically)#good arguments can nonetheless fail and you're likely going to be fighting precedent if you want change #perhaps this kills the attorney #but politics does not operate like the law. precedent is not binding and you have to convince people who are your equals civically speaking #actually maybe they just have clinical depression or other psychological problems (evidence: going to law school). nvm
