This thread reminds me of why Americans can’t have nice political discussions anymore.

I was in college once. We were tear-gassed for protesting the War in Vietnam, handcuffed for using controlled substances, had our hearts broken, and worse. But I don’t recall any student ever screaming like the girl in the video. I guess that’s because we didn’t have to endure seeing a blonde girl costumed as Mulan.

As often, I agree with **Shagnasty**. Did you vote for Trump, **Shagnasty**? I want to know who I’m hanging out with. 😛
