They are not of sound mind. There is something wrong with their wiring. The lunatics are allowed to freely spread their mental aberrations and tics. In the past, they yelled on street corners. Today, they have large congregations, TV and Radio shows, and in some cases entire networks at their disposal. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > Republicans: [“What’s wrong with Nickelback?”](https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4785060/difference-democrats-republicans-nickleback) I genuinely don’t know what’s wrong with Nickelback either. I’ve heard the jokes but they seem like a fairly forgettable bro band who had that one song I heard that one time, much like several other forgettable bro bands who had a song I heard that one time. Not sure why this one is worse.
