He's just an impotent wannabe dictator, we'll be fine. You're overreacting!" from acquaintances and family. Not friends, I don't have friends that stupid. I will stand arm in arm with every person who mocked me for "being a worrier", not just because it's the only way out of this, but because it's the best way, maybe the only way, to build a better future. With that having been said, I hope each and every one of them gets a terrible case of genital lice at some point in their lives. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TronBronson@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (2 children) An impotent wannabe dictator is a fascist lmaoooo.
