Who are snowflakes, after all? Who stopped folks from going past high school? My folks went to college. I had working class jobs for 2 decades. I went back to school and became a PA. I have great respect for n9n college folks.Whose disdain are they objecting to? If respect is what they seek, why revel in the foul mess if MAGA: love talk of shit hole countries and garbage islands? Why can't they see Trump is out to rule not lead us? Do they not understand the fascism he brings? Why not? Why not?
