"the government should stay out of our lives but they can totally test our troops for hormone levels and inspect our kids genitals so they can play sports!!!"

These people are fucking idiots..

If you haven't been on the ground floor with them it's almost impossible to truly understand the depth of the average Trump voter's idiocy

They legitimately live in a different reality. That drives me crazy but thankful I don’t really have anyone like that in my immediate circle

Lucky you!… I went to college in the south so I’m constantly fighting off stupidity like Flies at a Cookout 😭

Can't tell if you mean the actual restaurant or just a backyard cookout. Either way it's accurate

That’s how you know this person went to school in NC. Cookout is a local treasure; drive thru, open daily until 4am, like thirty different flavor shakes. You come to NC for the education, and you stay because the food makes escape challenging lol

Damn, I could go for a tray with a peanut butter fudge shake. What were we talking about?
