    The real problem, in my experience, is the large number of people. from all over the political spectrum, who will say, “Oh, that’s not what the party wants, that’s not what the politicians will do, it’s just some people saying things.” and just like, NO THEY REALLY DO WANT TO LINE ME AND HALF THE PEOPLE I KNOW UP AGAINST THE WALL AND SHOOT US DEAD, really seriously truly they do.
