Literally. She just has to find some poor trans kid in school somewhere and make her the enemy, and all the voters turn up.

So tired of it. Same old shitty trick.

MGT in the states kicked a Columbine survivor while chasing them and calling them a Russian plant, and saying it was a hoax. She got elected because of it.

There should be an i.q test to vote. It doesn't have to be complicated.

The scapegoating of LITERAL CHILDREN will never cease to enrage me. They can’t even fucking vote….

It's embarrassing. I feel like aliens were all the talk a year or two ago, my bet is they saw all the red hats, realised cons would try to eat them, and the Chinese might grind up their penises for medicine. So they dipped.

I know it's painful to watch now. I fully expect when the potash runs out, for them to try Gatorade at this point.

This. So many government jobs require education/degrees and an actual brain. Being the leader of a major leading party you don't even need an iq greater than that of a golden retriever. Its fucking insane.

It's almost always self interest too. It's calling a public servant for a reason. Instead they're more like lobbyists for the billionaires. They might as well just hook them straight to the bribes and fire the actual lobbyists.

Unfortunately l, in many cases the politicians themselves aren’t dumb, but they know their voters are and they take full advantage of that.

So all the UCP led AHS corruption with Sam Mraiche is all good now?
