    I went to college in Alabama (southern USA) and my very country barber was mostly unintelligible but one day, mid-sentence, the words “statutory rape” very articulately came out of his mouth and I still wonder what the fuck that was all about.

      my barber (closet Reform, but never says it because he knows he’d lose customers):

      • “these left-wing protesters, very hateful people aren’t they?”

      • “doesn’t the earths temperature fluctuate anyway?”

      (I’ve mentioned to him what the protests are about, and that we have ice record data showing unprecedented CO2+methane along with said fluctuations. He’s either partially or willfully deaf.)

          Kinda part of the problem in a way, the right has zero qualms spewing their shit at all times regardless of context but the left tends to keep quiet

          I do it too so I’m not trying to accuse you specifically or anything, just an observation
