    I hate how politics went from having disagreements but still being civil and friendly to if you disagree on something you can’t even be in the same country because “you’re what’s wrong” with it…

      That’s propaganda for you. It started with debates, but when you’re pushing for something that’s obviously bad to enrich yourself it’s hard to have honest conversations about it so you turn to hate.

        I’m interested to hear more about the free unicorns. Is that a policy someone is campaigning on? Is there a signup sheet? Can I take one home today?
