    This looks like code you'd see from a drag and drop tool.

    Yep, apparently the text in that block is raw text without HTML being sent from an old obselet CRM that only includes < br /> tags

    You don't need to use !important if you target the element properly, even if it's raw text, it will still be in some kind of container.

    Well, the comment is really !important. 😊

    I read somewhere a guy had created the 'shame.scss' file to put all crap code he had to push before deadline. I think yours is a good candidate for this practice.

    @ajmada Harry Roberts (https://csswizardry.com/about/). It's in his talk on refactoring.

    @pabmeister basically there's already shitty css coming from another place which has shitty selectors,

    And this page is being dynamically created from a haml template which I had no access to.

    so I had to use the !important,

    Trust me I've tried...

    @Raynbow it depends on the base style

    May I ask why are you using font-familiy twice? Please ignore my lack of knowledge

    @dextel2 the $font-family is a SASS variable that references the font property value

    @terminalterror Yeah, that was him. Nice catch ;)

    The !important is annoying but i can let it pass as an ugly patch.
    However, watching the useless double font-size with the "em" typo as "rem" made my eyes puke on my brains instantly.
