I came here to see the comments and I am not disappointed 😂

Just wanting to point out that the boats aren't sinking because of bad weather/conditions. They're sinking because the people operating them are being reckless and selfish, which might reflect how they act in other aspects of their lives... such as when choose what political candidates to back. They literally did this to themselves. I hope no one gets seriously hurt, but I do hope they get heavily fined.
@wearewherms The post is exactly what I would expect nothing less from a person who believes any form of opinion other than theirs is incorrect. At least you have the decency and compassion to not wish for people to be hurt or die, unlike others with a similar mindset.
What’s that thing they like to say? “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes”?
@grimmy366 oh god you took the words outta my mouth lol
I try to be a good person but I laughed hysterically reading this
@Jedi60 you mean the ones where white supremacists would start throwing bricks at windows and inciting fights? Trump supporters are fighting for their right to hate. These people are protesting and rioting because they’re sick of it. If you would’ve voted for equality years ago this wouldn’t be happening. It’s a systemic issue. Get over yourself. You’re not smart and getting me with a “gotcha” you’re an apathetic prick.
