It’s not nice to make fun of veterans with PTSD

Counterpoint: When your elected representative is a Republican, when Republican voters would vote for a fucking Yosemite Sam mudflap if it had (R) next to it on the ballot, when a Republican legislator’s biggest concern is not getting out-Klanned in the primary, protests do not work. Read more
