My wife is a medical coder for the ED, for more than a dozen hospitals and says the overwhelming area for vehicle fatalities she codes is intersections crossing in front of traffic. Particularly trying to make the yellow. The plural of anecdote isn't data mind you, but she's been at this for 15+ years and has a pretty good sense of it.

I bought these lights, they're sitting on the kitchen table waiting to be opened and put on a tree! I'm so excited!

Sending a virtual hug your way!
Unless you live in northern Colorado and want a real hug from an internet stranger who may or may not be a weirdo.
As a fellow ADHDer with all three kids in the ADHD spectrum somewhere. Please know I'm rooting for you, think the best of you, and you are great just the way you are!
I've read if we wake up knowing what we dreamt about we likely aren't getting enough sleep. Since then I've worked hard in my sleep cycle and haven't remembered more than a dream or two a year in more than a decade. That was my solution, maybe give it a go?
Without a doubt!
The dude trying to cover it up with the piece of cloth at the end was chef's kiss.
You're welcome!
I've been trying to find an answer on that question myself for years. A lot of the other comments so a good job of scratching the surface but there just isn't enough text to really explain the full concept completely. If you really want to really dig deeper, here are some books that might help. They helped me. Bottom line is it's smart for conservatives to do this based on their end goals because it's effective.
The All New Don’t Think of an Elephant! by George Lakoff, covers the strong father theory which is much of what's described in other comments.
The Dictator’s Handbook by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, talks about the principles of authoritarianism and helps understand how the authoritarian structure in nearly every major company has lead to this.
The Origins of Political Order by Francis Fukuyama, explains why stability at the cost of equality is what political machines often evolve into.
The Revenge of Power by Moisés Naím, explains how authoritarianism works and why it needs us vs them to thrive.
Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam, a good view of blame based politics, why and how it works.
Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me) by Tavris & Aronson, helps explain why people are attracted to the conservative message.
Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti, explains how capitalists exploit the view that poverty is a personal falling so they can continue wage theft and rent seeking.
The Coddling of the American Mind by Haidt & Lukianoff, a deep dive of the modern conservative mindset and helps answer how and why we got here.
Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen, shows how this has been going on for longer than we've been alive along with the attack on education and sort of shows why that's effective.
The Progress Paradox by Gregg Easterbrook, helps explain why "the sky is falling" narrative conservatives like to use is attractive to us.
It's like watching a great serial sitcom several years in. None of the jokes are funny because you're missing out on why it's funny. Same here, go back to some early stuff and maybe it'll change your mind. But this one is pretty meta for a series he's been on that I for one love.

For sure! When driving downtown this is what freaks me out most while driving around. Last thing I want to do is hit someone.
When in NYC and Makati it shocked me to see how flagrant people are with just crossing the street wherever. Two places I'll never drive, I'm not a good enough driver to not hit people in places like that.
