was just asking me about this. When you’re the one who could potentially lose your life on the whim of a dangerous asshole, it’s smart to think about these things. He’s got his head on straight as far as politics go. When he was in middle school he started a petition to stop little shits from wearing MAGA gear on school grounds. Unfortunately it wasn’t successful...but to him it didn’t matter. He felt the petition was a win because the MAGAts would show themselves and reasonable kids would know who to avoid in high school.
