Why??? The majority chose Joe Biden over the real winner of the election in President Trump, so they get exactly what they deserve. The unfortunate part is we must suffer because they chose to pick one of the most corrupt vile men to ever grace the halls of the Senate. I lost all faith in the GOP, there's only a select few that actually seem to care about what happened on the night of November 3, 2020, the rest are happy as hogs in slop to have their beloved swamp back, I guess their sex slush funds will be back stronger than ever, and their families will happy because they're receive the large Government contracts and they won't even have to have a clue what to do other than picking up the millions.

Like you guys are as blind as you are smart like if you guys were doing the right thing the other nations like britain wouldn't be petrified by the shit that happened jan 6th and you dumb gaggling cunts wanted to do it again on mar 4th but peeled away from it with both sides of your pants coated in piss and shit when the capitol had armed guards around it and a proper defense grid setup almost as if you guys can only fight old people or women and even then y'all need guns and other weapons and shit to even have the balls to attack the old people or women like kinda sad that a talking cheeto like reignited the flames of all racist and idiots like if trump was still president we'd still have like 3 years of covid 19 to deal with and the fact that there's a 37% chance you guys are already dead and that's the low estimate but again you republican supporters are gonna get gunned down by the real men and women worthy of being called patriots i.e. the military people like did you guys know we have a laser cannon like a legitimate laser cannon mounted to a battleship oh and americas plethora of war time vehicles like you maga guys are basically trying to fight mosasaurs on a planet made of water and it's hilarious like the dude who has to keep pushing boulders up hills is laughing at you guys cause your making his job look easy like mass dilusion and denial of reality like shit you guys could make anyone like their job even the people who gotta go scubaing into human shit don't envy the democrats or hospital workers cause knowing your guys logic your gonna go and blast up the maternity ward to stop vaccines or raid an elementary school to like hold a democrats child hostage but somehow it's us and the denocrats that're evil I say us cause I'm a gay man and most states ain't cool with it and in fact have a long history of killing gay men out in the woods and shit like texas or tennessee not to mention all the other horrendous shit and I'm sorry did ya just use your history class as a bang/wank class cause if not ya should know that most people over 30 experinced violent forms of racism like do the math my man 70 years ago was the 1960s 90 years was the 1940s 110 years ago it was 1920 now not many 100 year olds in our Congressional system plenty of 70-90 uear olds who at various points in life cpuld been positivly influenced to enjoy rascism and from there the odds of having a racist president go down that's some sound logic but you guys ain't gonna read this whole thing when you guys can't even read the declaration of independence which is literally a singular piece of paper that I've read before spoiler it took like five minutes you could even google it but nah you guys wanna willfully dumb of you enjoy putting paper clips into outlets who am I to stop your fun but don't force other people to put paper clips into outlets especially with force cause double spoiler you guys ain't the only people with guns and weapons like my dude did ya forget or like what and yeah cool ya got a fully auto ar15 with a 500 round magazine doesn't matter if you can't use an aimbot to fire for you which there is no real life aimbot function to abuse and seeing how many people cheat I feel like your aim with a gun like that you'd be lucky to not blow out the brains of the maga people standing around you cause the recoil knocked you flat across the grass as an ar15 has more kick then your grandmas deringer a.k.a. the prostitute gun and if y'all maga people could stand the recoil you'd still have to aim the gun and that's the part I doubt the most so you maga people really are better off staying in your "mancaves" surrounded by illegal guns like grenade launchers and rpgs with a trunk of nerve gas as a coffee table that you rest your bong on living at your moms house complaining about movies with women in them and how women won't date an alpha chad like yourself being ruthless on your tube sock collection and being a general mess then to I dunno try and start a war because you didn't get something you wanted like an over sized tot and go ahead start a war it just means more free labor for prisons when the wars over like bidens still gonna be president all that wpulda happened is that the national average of rascism and homophbia would drop by like 2000% in a weird way actually helping america mmm ya no attack the capitol again guys it'd be the thing that makes the u.s. disband the republican party and all those involved in said party being barred from rejoining the new second party or maybe it could just be the democrats making choices oh and the false golden trump idol like sure hope you ain't christian cause if you are y'all totally pissed god off again but either way I'm laughing at all o y'all and before you give me griefs on mah grammars I dunny have to worry about my typing on a youtube comment let alone a maga one when I'm part of the like 30% of americans in possesion of a GED so my job safety is locked in as that's proof that I can work in a professional sense and that I'm not a meaty lughead like 99% of the maga/republican party and trump lost like come 2024 he gonna be in jail unable to run for presidency ever again and I doubt we'd vote for another republican leader anytime soon so womp womp you guys just keep losing more and more every day even now y'all be losing and I find it funny as

@Tommy Dunn *Yeah, people like that lie so much it's practically a language. But here's what's really interesting about people who elect to often lead off with..."I'm sorry you feel that way". Aside from being a commo Millennial auto-response, it's also an indication of a narcissistic borderline personality that's grossly devoid of empathy, which btw is all to common these days, esp among many of them.* *See people who elude to that phrase are practiced at removing themselves from the own-ness of their actions i.e. transgressions (like most women, and we've seen an influx in this attitude/mindset among young boys raised by wayward single mothers, but alas that's another story.* *Anyway, and back to the line....They simply place the blame on someone else, specifically their enemies i.e. the person who's annoying them, questioning them, or simply calling out their fuckery. It makes no difference....As long as its not their cell phone.* *Beyond that, the superficial, and their own arrogance, they are typically loyal to nothing & no one*
