    It’s more accurate to say dems turned into his version of republicans than to say he’s turned into a dem.

        “you are wearing a red and white striped club tie in a half-windsor knot”

        “… I’m not wearing a tie at all.”

        American public: “well I’m not voting for him anymore”

        People say this and then you look at voting records in congress and you see them fall in line when the chips are down. Party affiliation and loyalty is what gets you reelection funds and spots on committees, there’s a lot of tangible and intangible pressure applied from the color of the tie.

      Schwarzenegger ain’t a republican or a dem.

      Anyone who says “screw your freedom”, unironically and publicly, in a time of crisis, isn’t an American.

        American patriot here: Screw you’re false idea that you have “freedom” to callously endanger others because you didn’t like wearing a mask during a global pandemic.

        There’s priority to this stuff. As they say, your freedom to swing your fist ends at my face. Being forced to wear a mask does infringe on freedom, but being forced to contract a potentially deadly disease because you can’t put on a stupid mask is a greater infringement. See also: you don’t have the freedom to drive recklessly, you don’t have the freedom to set off fireworks anywhere you want, you don’t have the freedom to assault people.

          Being forced to wear a mask does infringe on freedom

          Both the federal circuit and the supreme court agrees.

        If you still support an orange man baby traitor who attempted to overthrow democracy and install a fascist dictatorship after losing an election, you sure as FUCK aren’t an American anymore.

        Lol, anyone accusing someone as being un-American for exercising their constitutional right to free speech is both a hypocrite and an idiot.

            Now I don’t have to hope – I know you’re so insufferable, anyone would spit in your drink and food.

              This is the sort of formless turd that the entire kitchen gets in line to give their burger bun a good scrote swipe before slathering the room temp-mayo on and plating it.

            Your regular diaper seems to be full based on how cranky you are. You should probably tell your mom to change it before you start discussing things you know nothing about.
