Read another book, Shitlibs!

This is a large part of the gaping divide between the Biden generation’s politics-as-sport and the younger generation’s politics-as-morality view of the world.

Neither. They don’t fucking care. This whole “don’t feed the trolls” stuff doesn’t work on them because they are not trolling.

The idea that shit posting on 4chan and believing virulent versions of the prejudices that your great grandparents believed - this somehow qualifies as awakened and authentic thought?

I’m fucking sick of people calling this country “divided,” as if the differences between the sides- for lack of a better term- is something that is able to be overcome with respect or something.

That shit switched from Yanny to Laurel on me and now I’m bugging out. FUCK YOU VERY MUCH, PATRICK.
