it’s very cool and funny how MAGAs have opened the oldest vault and found that all of our institutions are immutably Woke and Gay. that’s just the way it is in this country. if you don’t like it there’s the door!!!

i guess i just don’t understand the point of looking at this new shit heap of traumatic information. every day we’re already having our faces rubbed in the knowledge that this gang of pedophile murderer bandits will never be punished
