    What if Americans decided to be a little more like the French and instead of just surrendering to the fucking literally swastika waving Nazis we just did the fucking bare minimum and VOTE

    But instead we’ll get four more years of orange geriatric Hitler because young people won’t vote. It would be funny, if it wasn’t happening here.
