Haha I remember this, I was still in high school. My girlfriend’s (boilerplate conservatives) parents were complaining about wasteful government spending and my dad said, “yeah can you believe how much they’ve spent on the Reagan funeral tour?” Shockingly, they didn’t agree

tired of sharing a planet with dumb, angry, selfish people. Tired of hearing their awful opinions in my head
