this is so funny man you're talking about a guy who has done nothing but cut social programs, increase defense spending and offer handouts to the private sector. he's like if an abandoned infant was raised to adulthood by a pack of wild banks. and then somehow your road analogy makes even less sense

i don't care what you do but i'm not staying. i came here to look at lighthouses and shit not fish people. frankly seeing one fish person is cause to leave and we saw like 10

PITA member banned for being racist (the ban has expired, sigh) came in and demanded to know why she gets in trouble for being racist, but we let toddlers run around and yell. ma'am. they are toddlers. and it's storytime.
