Look out rest of the world, its coming for you as well. Vote appropriately and strike down conservative religious culture and fascism with aggression; they dont respect you, dont ask them politely.

Let’s start with the press. Unwilling to call a spade a spade. Giving popularity to shitty candidates because shitty people generate more clicks. Manufacturing negative hypotheticals against otherwise normal people. JAQing off. Self preservation and revenue generation in place of the truth.
