13. That's not the whole quote

I agree with the other replies to this. It's the MAGAts who can't control themselves, I was quiet for a while but finally got sick of it.

And I always hated that attitude of "blood is thicker than water". Only a couple years ago did someone at work tell me that saying is an incomplete misquote, usually used by someone who is taking advantage of a relative . I've always felt that those one chooses to associate with (friends etc) are more meaningful and deserving than some asshole one is stuck with via random chance of birth.

The full quote is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", and in fact the original quote actually means what I felt all along.
