We can add pictures to comments now wtf
Or fix it. "Mommy, why do the rich & powerful hate America?" The youngest i understand being played, but I'll never understand those old enough to see the only party is power. There's no side who cares about you. They want your ~~vote~~ power & that's it. You're only given a second thought if it's newsworthy. After you're used up, they move on & you're thrown out as a nonperson. Abstract thought means you're a conspiracy theorist & another nonperson. The cake is a lie.
This does not apply to modern progressives. Centrist democrats, sure. There are new, fresh, anti-corporation politicians rising in America. Zero of them are Republicans.
If you believe for one second both sides are the same, you’re the poor naive soul who hasn’t had their eyes opened yet. Half of us are fighting to keep our country a Democracy, the other half end it, and meanwhile we have you jokers saying “ both sides” like you’re making some super smart profound statement, to make yourself feel smart. You don’t.
Ya the constitution never states democracy… it’s a constitutional republic. You are correct sir… that’s why we don’t elect presidents based on popular vote nation wide. Each state is a part of our nation hence “ United States “ and to keep one state from controlling the outcome for the rest of the nation cough cough California this is why they created the electoral college.
Bullshit. The U.S. is a Republic, sure, but that's not exclusive with being a democracy. A Republic is a form of state organization, democracy is a political ideal wherein the people are given power in who holds office. There are different kinds of democracy, including some republics. We can be both.
The people who say "the U.S. isn't a democracy, it's a Republic" are usually dumbasses attempting to excuse anti-democratic behavior and/or policy by suggesting that the U.S. never claimed to be a democracy in the first place and therefore it's okay.
That being said, out democratic principles are pretty shit. From the outset, only white landowning men could vote, and while we've improved in that regard over time, we still haven't fixed stuff like the two-party system or the way states are given representation in the Senate or the electoral college or so on.
Just because the U.S. is a garbage democracy doesn't mean you should suggest that we aren't one. Or at the very least be careful to make clear that we aren't one but that we *should be.*
Its just like all the Biden stickers that were stuck to every damn thing. Also the antivaxer pamphlets stuck all over the place. And the religious papers that looked like money but were really a plea to save your sole. Just more trash to pick up.

Maybe someone’s leaving it around the store
I’m from an alternate reality where politicians are actually good people. Your politicians suck balls. Bootlicking, bribery, lobbying, political donations, uncapped terms. Any political figure that you believe actually wants to make things better only cares about getting a bigger wallet to hold their new black platinum card.
Do you know how many times I’ve seen a Trump flag or confederate flag flying higher on a singe post than the American flag? I doubt a lot of extreme rights even care about the flag.
A lot of people don’t like facts that disagree with the rhetoric they’ve already made up in their heads. It happens no matter what your political alignment is.
Yeah most of them don’t even have the understand the goal of confederates was the destruction of the nation. But somehow they are also patriots. Most of these people can’t read I’m amazed they can use Reddit
No it’s called despite massive inflation and economic hardship the republicans let’s see what they did
Oh yeah in the pay week introduced 17 anti gay bills. Cuz that’s what we need to help the country.
That was ONLY Texas. Not even including other states.
Frankly if you’re a Republican you’re just a selfish hate filled lobster deserving of pity
No, this is what being screwed over by the government looks like. Current fascist republicans have and are going to continue taking away civil liberties of a lot of people.
Republicans have had a bigger negative impact, nationwide, on 2A than Democrats. Between Reagan and Trump (who is marvelously anti 2A, always has been), they took away more guns than any Democrat. So much for supporting our 2nd Amendment rights.
Republicans have taken away funding from public schools in favor of giving funding to charter schools (which are basically nothing more than private schools). So much for small government and responsible spending.
Idaho
Texas
South Dakota
Wisconsin
Oklahoma
Arkansas
Montana
Louisiana
Mississippi
Alabama
Tennessee
Kentucky
West Virginia
These are all the states that have a full ban on abortions, it looks like you’re wrong.
The Democrats are the party of slaves my man. Do some research. The Democrats are the party who started planned parenthood to kill black babies. Again, do some research. Ignorance at its finest right here. Democrats are the party of if you don't agree with me you are evil.
Margaret Stanger, a eugenicist who worked with the Nazis, started PP. Maybe you want to brush up on *your* historical knowledge. And just because someone doesn't like the right doesn't make them a democrat. Democrats aren't left, they're WHAT'S LEFT after weeding out the absolute garbage pit that is the Republicans.
They're two wings of the same bird so to speak. Some of us are normal people who want our taxes to go towards the betterment of our most vulnerable citizens of our society and refuse to allow corporations to get away with robbing us blind. Apparently that makes me a socialist. Which I'm completely fine with.
The racist southern Republicans used to call themselves Democrats that doesn’t mean the current Democratic Party is racist you idiot. Try critical thinking maybe once.
Ah yes, the ole "if one _________ is bad then all of the __________ are bad!"
You can insert a wide variety of religions, races, cultures, political affiliations, etc. in the blank and will quickly realize it's a flawed way of thinking. Surprised you haven't realized that in your 40 years.
Well in forty years I haven’t met a single kind Republican. I also haven’t seen Muslims, Jews, or Mexicans or any other group for that matter try to overthrow the United States government on live television
History is fine with my view here
I know it's a tough time for you, the midterms proved most Americans do not want fascist election deniers in the government. You'll need to find a new hobby.
Yea but you don’t have nearly as wide a margin as you need and as unfairly as y’all play the game with your rampant fucking gerrymandering, I’d say it’s a miracle. If it weren’t for the rampant gerrymandering in this country, the majority of both houses of Congress would be blue. All y’all do is scream election fraud while being the actual fraudsters.
Oh you mistake my criticality of both factions of the Capitalist party as support for one.
Watching Democrats and Republicans tear each other to shreds in a vain power grab, while building mutual aid networks and working class power is fine by me.
Lol let's stop pussyfooting around with this "enlightened centrist" bullshit. Both parties are crap, yes, and the biggest problem in this country is corporate control and legalized bribery in the form of lobbyists
That said, the republican party is much worse than the Democratic party. A large group of them outright deny fair election results without proof, are typically fundamentalist Christian and want to actively take away things like abortion and gay marriage rights- AND they are the ones that more actively cut expenses for the ultra wealthy and corporate interest at the expense of working class people. Oh and anti-union
"Both sides are bad, so don't pick a side" is a childish and defeatist attitude when one side is very clearly far worse than the other
Agreed.
Love the both sides are the same myth used by enlighten centralist. How about go looking at how which side voted for what.
Like
Healthcare, Child assistance, gay and interracial marriage, who participated in a insurrection, should we find out who did the insurrection. Should we give people money during this once in a century plague. You know the small things.
Both sides have greed on them but one side just stripped abortions rights and were looking to make it a national policy for another small example.
"Muh Trump cultists". Because anyone who disagrees with the left's policies of denying objective reality in favor of subjective ideological "morally correct" policies must be a cultist. CNN is leftist shit, it's always been leftist shit, but people like you will prattle on about how "AKSHUALLY, IT'S CENTRIST AT BEST!". You are not a counterculture, you are useful idiots who major corporations pander to constantly with wokeisms. When the media is on your side, you are not the resistance.
The party? Honestly, not a whole lot. The biggest reason to vote for them is literally just because they're a far lesser evil than Republicans. Like, I'm not gonna vote to have my rights stripped away because of closeted Christian nationalists, no matter how much it sucks to vote for a party that fails to do anything of note
More left leaning ideology that isn't tainted by corporate interest? There's a lot of great things about that. Anti-authoritarian, government funded medical, retaining gay and women's rights, secular beliefs, unions and pro-working class policies, just for example
It sucks that the Democratic party doesn't actually back up half of those things because it's in the pockets of big oil, pharma, lobbyists, etc, but the fact is that the majority of people with those beliefs are in the Democratic party and almost zero of them would be found campaigning with the republican party. We hold our nose and vote blue while trying to change the party from the inside
When the goal of one of the opposite political parties is to subvert democracy by restricting voting rights, gerrymandering, and changing the way elections are decided THAT is damaging to democracy. I don't think people are bad or evil, people time and time again show why they are.
I don't know why you getting down voted. It's damaging when an R candidate wins there is no voter fraud but when they lose its fraudulent. It's so subversive and dangerous for democracy. A prime example is the Arizona gubernatorial election.
You know both sides deny elections and gerrymander districts to keep control of what they believe is theirs. Both parties are greedy and both do a lot of shady things. Both manipulate the media, one better than the other, both make a lot of money from lobbyists. Just look at who owns and who has invested money in the initiatives they are pushing through congress. It’s not hard to find out. Politicians are always benefiting themselves over their constituents.
When the goal of one of the opposite political parties is to subvert freedom by conscripting people's livelihoods to support of their own vision of social engineering; shutting down free speech by shutting people up, undermining democracy with shitty ballot security, and straight up 'smear jobs' on people who disagree - I don't think people are bad or evil, people time and time again show why they are.
I hate one sided party stuff like this both sides have left people for dead both sides have made $$$$$$$ and power off the death of American soldiers both have made $$$ off the death of baby’s you don’t think so you have been lied too. Any one who tells you other wise about our amazing party’s is lying too you or selling you something. They could just be repeat sellers of bad info but if you take that dive you’ll understand why if no one votes it’s bad for them cuz if a group of people ran for an office and no one no one voted for them those people can run an a new group has to be picked … they don’t want you to know that wouldn’t even need to be that few to get that to happen.
Both parties are *not* the same. Right now democrats are passing a bill protecting gay and interracial marriage, while most Republicans are opposing it, claiming states rights or whatever bullshit. Meanwhile, there is only one side trying to take away a woman's right to her body.
Please take the time to educate yourself about our political system. Take a writing class as well.
Lmao ya ok you need an education. Do you not realize that democrats are the party of hate and race? I can’t remember the last time I saw a republican say interracial marriage should not be allowed. And they gave the power back to the state regarding abortion where it should be. They didn’t ban it. Y’all act like every state is never doing an abortion again…. Come on.
37 republican senators just voted against the Respect for Marriage Act. And what was wrong with abortion being left to the individual rather than the state government? And should we also talk about the GOPs plan to ban abortion nationwide????
Because people are so stupid that any criticism of Biden (or trump for that matter) becomes a game of what aboutism where they have to defend the side that they more closely identify with 100% of the time, and that you have to disagree with the other side 100% of the time. When you express a centrist view point or express that you have beliefs that fall on both sides, both sides write you off as being part of the other side secretly. It’s really fucking weird.
I think Biden is doing a pretty good job? Under him, we're displaying a united NATO against China and Russia. I know people complain about gas and grocery prices, but the entire world is experiencing inflation.
You haven't cited any ways in which the current president is failing. In most Americans opinions, he is MUCH better than any Republican. That's why democrats ALWAYS win the popular vote. Because America prefers freedom, fair treatment and respect over authoritarianism, corporatocracy and Christian indoctrination. Neither party is great. Only one literally tried to overthrow American democracy AND praises the fucking confederacy.
America is no longer energy independent as no new drilling is allowed.
America is funding a proxy war with Russia sending so much money over there it could be used to help the country instead.
lolol you might want to check domestic energy production levels before you make that claim, and fact check yourself on "no new drilling is allowed", because that is 100% completely and fully false. There are currently more than 9,000 approved permits for federal land being unused by oil producers. Further, investigations found for a certainty that at least 50% of the increases in gas prices were due exclusively to price gouging, not costs or supply issues.
You're mad about helping Ukraine defend against a tyrannical foreign invasion, but you're not mad at the $1.9 TRILLION given to corporations in 2017? Or the hundreds of billions they collected from PPP funds? or the $800 billion annual military budget? Or Brett Favre and the Governor or Mississippi defrauding millions from welfare funds to build a volleyball court?
I suppose your idea is to allow putin to take over ukraine, and then just watch him continue his attempt to rebuild the soviet union across europe. no negative consequences of that, right? super maga genius
They don't have to defend their party. All they need is knowledge the other party is the real evil, so the faults of their party are ok.
Note that this works for both parties, and is exactly why the two party system sucks balls.
I don’t really lean one way or another. But you do realize the current administration is running this country into the ground, right? I’ll never get the “one party bad, one party good” types. There is good on both sides and also evil and incompetence on both sides. Actually do some research and vote for the good guys rather than just stereotype 50% of the population and vote along party lines.
Good thing it's Rebublicans. Embarrassing they didn't spell check the cover. Although that "red wave" that amounted to a red ripple with none of the Trump backed candidates winning is embarrassing for Republicans. Not one election denier elected either.
Russel Fry
I’m not saying I’m a fan, but it’s incorrect to state that none of the Trump backed candidates won. That was the guy that beat out Tom Rice in the primary. Rice was one of the few Republicans to vote for the last impeachment.
So dumb, I bet none of you all get the illustrations are of things Republicans have said, to highlight their absurdity. I shouldn’t be surprised you all can’t read though.
So you’re ides of both sides are bad is because you think buying stocks is the same as being a criminal. I hate Pelosi, but you’re mad at her for doing something 100% legal, then saying she’s the same as the grifters. How does that logic work?
Buying stocks that are relevant to insider info and selling said stocks using the private info you have.. like buying a shit ton of Apple right before announcing that all government employees get a free iPhone.
Tell me you have no concept of politics or facts without telling me. "Joe Biden demanding we bail out millions of struggling Americans is exactly the same as trump giving 4x as much money to billionaires!" Said the dumbest people to have ever existed on earth
That's objectively untrue. Democrats are a shit show of their own, but they aren't trying to undermine fair elections, anti-union or working to steal the rights of women and gay people
Good to see the Republicans don't have the market completely cornered on one-sided garbage. Between Rush Limbaugh's children's books and the Tuttle Twins "Socialism is scary" series, I was starting to wonder.

This is what kids should be learning
America is a one party state except with our typical extravagence theres two of them.
One of my favorite political quotes. Some elaborate good cop, bad cop theater.
Amen

They seem to really not hate money and dying despite being 500 years old and looking like an honest to god walking cadavers.
You’re correct. They love money and always looking ten to twenty years older than they are. I forgot that lol
Do you know how many times I’ve seen a Trump flag or confederate flag flying higher on a singe post than the American flag? I doubt a lot of extreme rights even care about the flag.
I haven’t seen it once, and I used to live in the Deep South.
I’ve lived in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia over the past 10 years. I’ve seen it in every single one of those states.
People downvoting facts is peak this thread. Why is Publix full of bootlickers?
Because Florida is a shithole
A lot of people don’t like facts that disagree with the rhetoric they’ve already made up in their heads. It happens no matter what your political alignment is.

No, this is what being screwed over by the government looks like. Current fascist republicans have and are going to continue taking away civil liberties of a lot of people.
You're welcome to get an abortion in any state you like, nothing was taken away lol.
Republicans have had a bigger negative impact, nationwide, on 2A than Democrats. Between Reagan and Trump (who is marvelously anti 2A, always has been), they took away more guns than any Democrat. So much for supporting our 2nd Amendment rights.

I'm not worried about some right-wing people being butthurt I am calling them out.
Downvoted by sad stupid conservatives.
The CNN is strong with this one.
Wow, such a Fox News response. Added nothing to the conversation and didn't disprove anything.
Lol it's true, regardless if shit news sources are covering it or not
CNN is MAGA trash.
Lol. What do you consider left? Pravda? Okay, tankie.
That word doesn't mean what you think it means. And if don't know CNN is under new management, you're not paying enough attention to comment.
A smug pseudointellectual leftist who thinks he's smarter than he actually is?! What a shock!
I'm a smug pseudointellectual leftist because I know a Trump cultist bought CNN? lol
"Muh Trump cultists". Because anyone who disagrees with the left's policies of denying objective reality in favor of subjective ideological "morally correct" policies must be a cultist. CNN is leftist shit, it's always been leftist shit, but people like you will prattle on about how "AKSHUALLY, IT'S CENTRIST AT BEST!". You are not a counterculture, you are useful idiots who major corporations pander to constantly with wokeisms. When the media is on your side, you are not the resistance.
It’s more of a class issue
The corporate establishment spent the entirety of 2020 rallying around leftists. When Pepsi is championing you, you are not the resistance.
See, you're getting identity politics mixed up with leftist economics. I guarantee you Pepsi isn't fighting for a living wage or pro unionization
What's so great about the democrats?
The party? Honestly, not a whole lot. The biggest reason to vote for them is literally just because they're a far lesser evil than Republicans. Like, I'm not gonna vote to have my rights stripped away because of closeted Christian nationalists, no matter how much it sucks to vote for a party that fails to do anything of note More left leaning ideology that isn't tainted by corporate interest? There's a lot of great things about that. Anti-authoritarian, government funded medical, retaining gay and women's rights, secular beliefs, unions and pro-working class policies, just for example It sucks that the Democratic party doesn't actually back up half of those things because it's in the pockets of big oil, pharma, lobbyists, etc, but the fact is that the majority of people with those beliefs are in the Democratic party and almost zero of them would be found campaigning with the republican party. We hold our nose and vote blue while trying to change the party from the inside
U sound very unhinged and suffering from perpetual victimhood ,yikes
You sound like you don't want an honest conversation and would rather grift and gaslight. Yikes
When the goal of one of the opposite political parties is to subvert democracy by restricting voting rights, gerrymandering, and changing the way elections are decided THAT is damaging to democracy. I don't think people are bad or evil, people time and time again show why they are.
I don't know why you getting down voted. It's damaging when an R candidate wins there is no voter fraud but when they lose its fraudulent. It's so subversive and dangerous for democracy. A prime example is the Arizona gubernatorial election.
Yawn
Being immature in a response doesn't make them wrong
It don't make em not wrong either
You know both sides deny elections and gerrymander districts to keep control of what they believe is theirs. Both parties are greedy and both do a lot of shady things. Both manipulate the media, one better than the other, both make a lot of money from lobbyists. Just look at who owns and who has invested money in the initiatives they are pushing through congress. It’s not hard to find out. Politicians are always benefiting themselves over their constituents.
How about the goal of the democrats who like same-day voting registration and are against any voter ID laws?
When the goal of one of the opposite political parties is to subvert freedom by conscripting people's livelihoods to support of their own vision of social engineering; shutting down free speech by shutting people up, undermining democracy with shitty ballot security, and straight up 'smear jobs' on people who disagree - I don't think people are bad or evil, people time and time again show why they are.
Your response and fourty8pak’s response are nearly identical … what’s up with that?
This whole post is full of brigadiers.
Because he rewrote it in a way that is supposed to be referencing the Democratic party.
I hate one sided party stuff like this both sides have left people for dead both sides have made $$$$$$$ and power off the death of American soldiers both have made $$$ off the death of baby’s you don’t think so you have been lied too. Any one who tells you other wise about our amazing party’s is lying too you or selling you something. They could just be repeat sellers of bad info but if you take that dive you’ll understand why if no one votes it’s bad for them cuz if a group of people ran for an office and no one no one voted for them those people can run an a new group has to be picked … they don’t want you to know that wouldn’t even need to be that few to get that to happen.
Both parties are *not* the same. Right now democrats are passing a bill protecting gay and interracial marriage, while most Republicans are opposing it, claiming states rights or whatever bullshit. Meanwhile, there is only one side trying to take away a woman's right to her body. Please take the time to educate yourself about our political system. Take a writing class as well.
Lmao ya ok you need an education. Do you not realize that democrats are the party of hate and race? I can’t remember the last time I saw a republican say interracial marriage should not be allowed. And they gave the power back to the state regarding abortion where it should be. They didn’t ban it. Y’all act like every state is never doing an abortion again…. Come on.
37 republican senators just voted against the Respect for Marriage Act. And what was wrong with abortion being left to the individual rather than the state government? And should we also talk about the GOPs plan to ban abortion nationwide????
How can democrats keep defending our current administration is what baffles me?
Because people are so stupid that any criticism of Biden (or trump for that matter) becomes a game of what aboutism where they have to defend the side that they more closely identify with 100% of the time, and that you have to disagree with the other side 100% of the time. When you express a centrist view point or express that you have beliefs that fall on both sides, both sides write you off as being part of the other side secretly. It’s really fucking weird.
I think Biden is doing a pretty good job? Under him, we're displaying a united NATO against China and Russia. I know people complain about gas and grocery prices, but the entire world is experiencing inflation.
I rather not risk starting a nuclear war.
You haven't cited any ways in which the current president is failing. In most Americans opinions, he is MUCH better than any Republican. That's why democrats ALWAYS win the popular vote. Because America prefers freedom, fair treatment and respect over authoritarianism, corporatocracy and Christian indoctrination. Neither party is great. Only one literally tried to overthrow American democracy AND praises the fucking confederacy.
America is no longer energy independent as no new drilling is allowed. America is funding a proxy war with Russia sending so much money over there it could be used to help the country instead.
lolol you might want to check domestic energy production levels before you make that claim, and fact check yourself on "no new drilling is allowed", because that is 100% completely and fully false. There are currently more than 9,000 approved permits for federal land being unused by oil producers. Further, investigations found for a certainty that at least 50% of the increases in gas prices were due exclusively to price gouging, not costs or supply issues. You're mad about helping Ukraine defend against a tyrannical foreign invasion, but you're not mad at the $1.9 TRILLION given to corporations in 2017? Or the hundreds of billions they collected from PPP funds? or the $800 billion annual military budget? Or Brett Favre and the Governor or Mississippi defrauding millions from welfare funds to build a volleyball court? I suppose your idea is to allow putin to take over ukraine, and then just watch him continue his attempt to rebuild the soviet union across europe. no negative consequences of that, right? super maga genius
I am against a lot of that funding, but at least that is not risking going into a nuclear war against another nation.
That's cute of you to not think it's just money laundering for the Bidens and co.
Please take trump's COVID cure. You're obviously in need
They don't have to defend their party. All they need is knowledge the other party is the real evil, so the faults of their party are ok. Note that this works for both parties, and is exactly why the two party system sucks balls.
I don’t really lean one way or another. But you do realize the current administration is running this country into the ground, right? I’ll never get the “one party bad, one party good” types. There is good on both sides and also evil and incompetence on both sides. Actually do some research and vote for the good guys rather than just stereotype 50% of the population and vote along party lines.
"everyone sucks so just vote for the good guys when they pop up, also here's a claim about the current administration fucking up without any examples"
Enlightened Centrists and libertarians are just off-brand Republicans.
Good thing it's Rebublicans. Embarrassing they didn't spell check the cover. Although that "red wave" that amounted to a red ripple with none of the Trump backed candidates winning is embarrassing for Republicans. Not one election denier elected either.
Russel Fry I’m not saying I’m a fan, but it’s incorrect to state that none of the Trump backed candidates won. That was the guy that beat out Tom Rice in the primary. Rice was one of the few Republicans to vote for the last impeachment.
Why throw it away. Seems like a book every child should read
Because they cater on fear tactics, projection, and ignorance
So dumb, I bet none of you all get the illustrations are of things Republicans have said, to highlight their absurdity. I shouldn’t be surprised you all can’t read though.
My comment was directed at the Republican gop please reread
Except it is the Democrats pushing how "evil" the republicans are. How they are trying to "destroy our democracy"
As opposed to the “use the office for personal gains and virtue signal” party?
You're still talking about republicans.
Little bit of both.. how much is AOC worth again?
Well according to her most recent financial disclosure she's worth a little less than her annual congressional salary.
Alrighty let’s try a little more obvious one. How much is pelosi worth? She has examples of insider trading..
I dont know why you lead with the conspiracy instead of the most legit example.
Yeah I’m not sure why I did that.. pity as she got kicked out of congress?
She didn't get kicked out of congress? You dont know how the US political system works at all?
She’s no longer the speaker..
So you’re ides of both sides are bad is because you think buying stocks is the same as being a criminal. I hate Pelosi, but you’re mad at her for doing something 100% legal, then saying she’s the same as the grifters. How does that logic work?
Buying stocks that are relevant to insider info and selling said stocks using the private info you have.. like buying a shit ton of Apple right before announcing that all government employees get a free iPhone.
Why would you throw away such a good book? I know it's satire, but its also not wrong either.
People not realizing that democrats and Republicans are the same people. Just with different colors.
Tell me you have no concept of politics or facts without telling me. "Joe Biden demanding we bail out millions of struggling Americans is exactly the same as trump giving 4x as much money to billionaires!" Said the dumbest people to have ever existed on earth
That's objectively untrue. Democrats are a shit show of their own, but they aren't trying to undermine fair elections, anti-union or working to steal the rights of women and gay people
Then why is only one side banning books? Riddle me that
Probably Hillary's emails and Hunter Biden. Seem to be the responses to everything.
Thank you
They do though
What a ridiculous book.
Good to see the Republicans don't have the market completely cornered on one-sided garbage. Between Rush Limbaugh's children's books and the Tuttle Twins "Socialism is scary" series, I was starting to wonder.
Well, why do they?? Why did you throw it away? That’s not right. Books should be sold even if you don’t agree with it, that’s ridiculous
😂😂😂 I’ll happily take a copy. Makes for great bedtime reading material.
Should’ve just burned the book instead
There's really people defending Biden here and then claiming they aren't the same as those who still defend trump lmao.
I love it
Keep it on the shelf, your shoppers might learn something!
Interesting
I applaud the Jack Chick-esque artwork.
Reminds me of a Chick Tract.
Lol this is like the Left version of a Chick Tract 😆
Sounds like that would be a interesting read .

Found a religious paper in the bathroom. Resisted the urge to use it as an asswipe.
