I just got it figured out and working how i want it to. the issue wasnt with how i was trying to read the state of the pin or "button"
all methods should and could do what i was trying to do, if i had configured the "button" correctly to begin with lmao.
so since i was pulling power from 3.3v and not the gpio, and the gpio button defaults to pull_up=True i needed to configure the button to be pull_up=False or else it would be high on both sides of the button (if i am understanding correctly that is, lol)
whether my statement/logic here is 100% accurate, i got it to do what i needed. all just in time for bed... okay, maybe a few hours past time for bed.
