That was my first ever presidential election vote, I was so excited to see someone with legit interest in saving the environment, full of hope for a new future. I remember how giddy it felt to step into the booth.

I lived in florida then, the entire state was thrown out by a legit conspiracy.

And it's jaded my vision of politics ever since.

Yeah, it's a big reason why I think civil disobedience is making a comeback.

People are realizing the government doesn't exist for them; it exists for the ruling class. That's not how it should work and we don't have to play by the rules they make for us.

Full of invasive species, Florida man, woman, fucking craziness all around with zero hope. I'm glad i wasn't born there.

Fun fact: Florida doesn't actually have a statistically higher incident of 'florida man' activities as compared to other states, just by law all of Florida's police blotters are available to the public.

But I know you are just here for the memes and don't care about objective truth.
