        Pretty much fell for the 4chan/8chan memes like the rest of the alt-right. I really wish twitter would die already, so it can fertilize whatever grows in it’s place.

          I keep linking to this Adam Conover interview with Elle Reeve because it’s so amazing. She talks all about how the modern crop of Republicans are all living in this bubble created by 4Chan where they think trolling and bigotry and misogyny and such are hilarious and believe everyone else agrees. It’s a long interview but absolutely worth the time, even if you just watch in chunks.

            Saw that not too long ago, also there’s a Netflix documentary (the antisocial network) that details a good bit of it too. As someone who was pretty familiar with it in the late 2000s, I was kinda shocked that so much of the bullshit that’s invaded politics in the past decade has stemmed from there. I remember the first time someone was trying to show me all the q-anon crap, they eat up that garbage.

    Elon, if you don’t like the USA system, why the flying fuck did you move here?

    Go back to South Africa you ladder pulling, entitled piece of shit.

    Take Canadian wannabe secessionist Ted Cruz with you.

      Ted Cruz is Canadian???

      So, let me get this straight…a Canadian moves to Texas, and then when it snows and gets cold, he flees to Mexico???

      Welp. Nobody can say that Ted Cruz is a stereotype. We CAN say he’s an asshole though. Which I will. Ted Cruz is an asshole. There, I said it.
