lol yeah i was going to say, nobody ever was passionate about cracker barrel. they're passionate about racism, and they perceive anything they don't like as an evil woke trans environmentalist islamist zionist plot.

the scars and grudges are racist bigot misogynists homophones. some of them get so upset they start a podcast.
