Holy crap, you’re easily triggered. Is it your goal to demonstrate that republicans are fragile little insecure snowflakes? Because if so, you’re succeeding marvelously. Also, your spelling and grammar suffer quite badly when you get triggered. Sometime’s it’s hard to make out exactly how stupid your positions are because of how badly you’re writing. Slow down and proofread; it makes you look smarter. (Well, until we read the content of your posts anyway.) For the record, I take off my mask while driving myself, because (as you somehow managed to notice) while one is actually driving they are enclosed in a box. (Not actually a sealed box, of course, but it’s pretty good protection nonetheless. If you keep the windows up. Do you? Probably not. You _are_ stupid after all.) Of course I strongly suspect that you don’t put a mask on when you get _out_ of your car, which you certainly did several times during your trip, which you forget to mention because you’re a disingenuous fucktard. By the way, congratulations on figuring out that you can type the characters “demorat”. I imagine you think that’s somehow clever, or possibly insulting. Of course, given that that’s the level of ‘clever wordplay’ I’d expect from a none-too-swift seven-year-old, it’s hard to take offense at it. Screaming children don’t really have the capability of insulting adults. ---

> [@redhook77](#): > > Oh, and he makes you cry. People who are worth the air they breathe don’t do things solely to piss off other people. Liberals don’t do things specifically to piss off conservatives, and conservatives that aren’t worthless garbage don’t do things specifically to piss off liberals. That’s just a true fact about reality. People are aren’t garbage _contribute_ to to the world. ---

At least you admit that your motivation to destroy our country stems from a hatred of it. Some people try to justify it by patriotism, some by at least self interest. But you just are a miserable piece of shit that wants to hurt others in a pathetic attempt to make yourself feel better. ---

redhook77, I caught the end of this thread and all I’ve seen from you is “demorat” and “fuck off”. Would you remind me, what is it about republicans that you support and what is it about democrats you oppose? Get into some specifics if you don’t mind. I’m sure you posted it elsewhere but I gave up after scrolling up through your last 10 or so posts (typical liberal lazy-ass that I am, 😉 ) ---

> [@redhook77](#): > > **omical assertion that I am endangering/killing people by not wearing a mask in a vehicle while driving down the road!** No? Then I guess you are a dumb ass demorat that just wants to force compliance on things you want for the sake of forcing compliance on people you oppose but not on those you agree with. Nobody says you have to wear a mask when your in a car by yourself or with members of your household. If you think that the governments mask mandate extends to that then you are woefully misinformed. But somehow doing so makes you feel like a rebel. I went naked when I was taking a shower, take that you conservative prudes with their restrictive laws against indecent exposure! ---

Just for fun, I went back and checked to see what arguments that pencildick **redhook77** had made for republicans being a positive force in the world. He didn’t make any. Not one single one. Instead, he just started spouting a bunch of gibberish about democrats. He didn’t at any point state or imply that republicans were good or better; he just leapt crotch-first into trolling the libs. I have to admit, I’m not particularly surprised. _Nobody_ says anything good about republicans anymore, besides “they to this or that shitty thing and I love it that decent people hate that.” There’s not even the pretense that they’re good in a different way. The entire argument is phrased in terms of how Democrats are worse. (A position that is invariably entirely based in lies.) Seriously, I’d be impressed to be promptly proven wrong and have somebody make some kind of defense of republicans on their _own_ merits. An argument that doesn’t once refer to the failings of the democrats, ether imagined or fabricated. ---
