EXACTLY how I'm feeling.

You TRY.

You try to set an example.

You reach out - as they're NOT doing (um, what's wrong with THEM reaching out? After all, WE're the ones who WON!!!)

And if they don't come? If they don't want to play? If they STILL don't want to play? Fuck 'em.

I'm sick of it, too. Trying to be nice. When they're kicking us in the teeth, they've BEEN kicking us in the teeth, and they're trying to KEEP kicking us in the teeth even after our election win tied their feet together? And we still have to be nice? FUCK THAT!
