Are you making fun of the size of my automobile?

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I’m making fun of the size of your voting block.

Lol, I'm fuckin Canadian, I live in the UK, I'm not a republican drone. I was riffing off the Simpsons reference...fuck me I guess.

Also riffing and having fun here. I’m joking about the chaos, not trying to attack you.
