I heard someone going off about this. According to them, Democrats houses were saved because of their blue roofs.
So I thought for a moment on how best to respond to such an incredibly stupid thing. And I said, at least the IHOPs are safe.
I heard something similar about the Maui fire. Something about how blue umbrellas and houses with blue roofs were spared because it was a blue laser that started the fires, which, even if that were true, once a fire gets started, it doesn't GAF what color something is
I love the idea that somehow all the Democrats were told to paint their roofs blue to avoid it. That's some real Ten Plagues of Egypt stuff.
Start carrying around mental health pamphlets
I think you mean "Liberal Propaganda"
If someone said that in response, they’re prob gonna end up being a mass shooter
