Whenever California is burning down or Washington is flooding or Portland is experiencing a lot of growing pains coming out of its white supremacy lineage, there’s never a shortage of comments on news articles about how this country would be better off if everyone on the west coast fell into the Pacific Ocean and drowned, et al.
Texas is no doubt filled with a lot of people I’m sure I’d probably really fucking hate should I ever meet them, but I don’t want them to freeze or starve to death or die of dehydration. (Some of my friends live there and they’re just as frustrated by those types as I am.)

Voting for the GOP is suicide, and they’re laughing all the way to Cancún.
I don’t think people are inherently good OR bad, but Ted Cruz is one of those people who really tips my scales toward bad.
I was wishing he’d take a tumble down an escalator and then get sucked into the conveyor belt at the bottom.
