This is how I feel trying to order a margarita without added sugar.

If you're into that kind of speculation, you might enjoy "The Cosmic Serpent" by Jeremy Nearby.

There's a lot to unpack there bud. You don't sound okay. None of that was in the comic, you brought all that baggage.

What are you talking about? The pink one has a line of scary warning symbols including a skull and crossbones just under the word humectant.

I don't ask people about their politics. I just act like true things are true, e.g.: human instigated climate change, COVID, the efficiency of a single payer healthcare system, a oblate spheroid earth, and the moon landing. I'm politely understanding of the flaws in their world view, but I NEVER pretend that any of it is even up for debate. You can balance not being rude with not backing down from the objective reality you live in by showing an genuine fascination with their weird cult beliefs.

Conspiracy theories, religion, myths, and magic are all very comfortable fantasies that wither in the face of the existential dread from understanding that the universe is horrific and absolutely indifferent to your personal suffering.
