12. He lost me a while back

Tue Apr 22, 2025, 03:56 PM

He's out of touch, has no clue what is really going on with normal non rich people, but he was still funny at times. Where he lost me was his bigoted takes on trans folk wich got really really bad during the presidenital campaign. He was basically saying that woke is indoctrinating children and convincing them to get sex change surgeries. He's a fucking bigoted POS.
