7. I love Pete B. and he'd be the best

But I am afraid he’s too good, too smart, and too educated for this fucking shithole country we apparently are living in now….. the 70 million MAGA morons seem to have a chokehold on the USA and another 70 million or so (non-voters) are too apathetic and pathetic, leaving the rest of us fucked over.

It would be great to live in a nation where Pete B. is the president.
