See, I had that thought building up over time but I never had everything put together as neatly as all that, ---

Wow, nice research, @Disinfectus! So, in summary, while we cannot know with absolute certainty who **PhillyGuy** voted for in 2020 or will vote for in 2024, we can be fairly confident that – at least in spirit – he drives a jacked-up pickup truck on “dually” tires with two gigantic Trump flags on the sides, tin-can mufflers, a possible coal-rollin’ feature installed by local hillbillies, and a coupla shotguns racked on the rear window. The role model here would be Jayson Boebert. ---

I am a guy who was actually born and raised in Philly. That is not the accurate portrayal of an area Trumper. Think work truck or SUV with Gadsden flag and “Let’s Go Brandon!” bumper stickers. I expect better research in the future, thank you. ---

I had to quit reading the Hunter Biden thread for fear my blood pressure was going to cause me to stroke out. God Damn, why do I let these sort of arguments get to me so much? I find myself trying to imagine that conversation taking place in person. I wonder if the deceit is visible on the face of someone arguing in that manner. It’s just infuriating. ---

**PhillyGuy** is another example of someone whose exploits I think don’t belong in this thread. He’s such an obvious concern troll, and we already have a thread for trolls. ---

God Damn, why do I let these sort of arguments get to me so much? I’ve seen some remarkably terrible analogies in my day, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many terrible analogies all crowded together like sardines in a jockstrap. ---

“…like sardines in a jockstrap” is an image I did not need this early in the day or, frankly, ever. Nice job! ---

At least it’s not a bad analogy. 😉 ---

Yeah, I can almost smell it, but it’s a bad though effective metaphor. ---

Jockstraps and sardines. Two great smells that smell great together! What product was the advertising jingle I just riffed originally selling? I can’t remember. I sure know the construction, but not the product. ---

Reeses Peanut Butter cups, two great tastes that taste great together. (Chocolate and Peanut Butter.) Two people walking along a busy city street. They bump into each other, exclaiming: “You got your sardines in my jockstrap!” “You got your jockstrap in my sardines!” ---

Then how do you know they don’t go together? 🙂 Thanks @JohnT. I sorta kinda remembered it was Reese’s, but wasn’t sure enough to say so, nor invested enough to search it up. ---
