Am I practicing bias conformation if I ask, do all the drug addicts you have known try to make up for their past with arrogance?
There seems to be a large group in my town with parents that were drug addicts and now brain damaged. They seem to go for Trump. And they seem to be white supremacists. Is this a trait of brain damage from drugs? Arrogance and violence?
What came first, the chicken or the egg? Drugs reduce inhibitions, so they may have been closet racists before and now don't care to hide it anymore? I've known several addicts and each one was just as different as other people. So I would say that the drugs were incidental to their assholeness.
I don’t know . And to me , it doesn’t matter .
Most people I know in person who are drug users and a mess , are humans who come at ED in the middle of the night . Some OD , some seeking the next opioid available , some secondary to infections , prostitution , or good ole dehydration and malnutrition .
I don’t know if trump supporters or not . Brain damaged or not . Mean or good , liars or truthful .
All I know is that : once , they were someone’s batman , and someone’s little princess . I picture them w school bags and pig tails and a ball and a doll . Someone failed these people . Someone abandon them . Nobody chooses death or brain damage bcz they had support and understanding .
I don’t know I don’t care what they vote or if religious either . Drugs are sad . Sadest than cancer or cardiac arrests in my book
I wish I could fix them all .
Could be the other way round. Being arrogant could make you believe that you can get away with filling your body with toxic chemicals, and come to no harm, it could also make you a anti- education and a racial supremacist. Even long before the brain damage sets in.
