Republicans have a hard time understanding nonliterals, it's honestly weird and one of the most common denominators between them I've noticed

Weird to think that human civilization will collapse out of a misplaced sense of fairness where we think it's better for uninformed people to have a choice even if that choice dooms us all. Liberalism is going to collapse in the silliest way

Every one who wants something other then what i want is uninformed.

To the uninformed, no representation for you. Get over it. Go to therapy to cope with your new forever.

Yeah when it comes to fascism, climate change denial, failing to meet the basic needs of citizens, and other conservative platforms, I don't give a shit about their representation
