You can have all those ideals without it being about your favorite team. Trump bad Biden good is nothing but a circle jerk on this platform the same as Biden bad Trump good is on other platforms. Our political system is fucked. Everyone's opinion is valid, but Trump would have gained nowhere near the unfounded respect he has from his party if he wasn't practically the only point of conversation his whole presidency. They like him because you don't. They'll like him more the more he angers you. They are using our tribalism to hold us down and in place.

Most people are able to do this. Some have an on/off switch that stays jammed in the on position most of the time.

Why doesn't God's word count when it is spoken to this man?

I am not affiliated with this person. I have spoken to her in passing and she is a great gal in a tough spot.

 If I could donate I would, but I am hoping maybe someone more well off might be able to help. I don't think she's even expecting to get any donations, but maybe a surprise would turn things around for her.

Thank you all for your consideration.

EDIT: I think I should clarify as well, she did not even share this gofundme with me, nor her Twitter, but I noticed a Twitter link on her profile, and within in I found a post linking the gofundme. It doesn't seem like she has tried to push anyone to give her money, it seems to me like a quiet call for help, especially since the post didn't have any activity so far. I only spoke to her throughout one night, and she did not ask me for anything but conversation the whole time. I do believe anyone who met her would agree she is someone who could really benefit.

Think about doing an escort quest where the NPC walks at 25% your speed and how irritating it is to have to keep waiting for them. Now imagine the NPC moves at %0.0025 or your speed instead. If he ever wants to travel with any companions, this might be more to protect his sanity than anything.
