Why do they call it "land of the free" again?
Cognitive dissonance. Discrimination is illegal, so obviously anyone who experiences it is crazy or lying. Clearly, they should have just followed the law against selling loose cigarettes if they didn’t want to die.
Sounds like gaslighting.
For the same reason narcissists like to say they're the best.
Because if you buy a double cheeseburger, fries, and a drink you get another double cheeseburger free.
It's something to do with guns I think.
