      Trump would be okay with that because it’s still a fuck you to the left coast.

        You mean West coast?

        I mean, if I’m facing south, the left coast is the East coast.

          Conservatives like to call the West Coast the left coast. It’s their little way of making fun of progressive states.

            Ah. Thanks. I’m not American so I’m not exposed to that kind of stuff on the regular.

            Today I learned. Thank you again.
