I see you remain carefully ignorant of what your government does, which enables you to refer to what is uncovered as "bullshit".
And it seems this is the whatabout season.
From you that is particularly silly.

Does the python get to use its fingers when it's eating Ron's gooey parts?
The Thing (1982) vs The Thing (2011) :
Setting: Antarctica
Well, Ron Desantis is very short. He wears lifts in his shoes. So, if he stayed real still, maybe the python, or The Thing, might not notice him.
Actually, everyone should ignore Ron, and he might waddle away.
I love the 1982 The Thing. Great movie!

yes, ma'am. curious, btw, after looking up where Aldean lives and where he grew up. i was kind of thinking that a small town would be a few thousand people. i think we need to have some sort of agreement on how small a small town really is. i mean, Macon, GA and Nashville, TN are now considered small towns?
Neither are small towns but cities. Nashville has an NFL team and a major university, and is a pretty big city with a lot going on. Macon is a small city and is boringly dead and hot as he'll, like super humid, sweaty hot. There could be a riot in Macon out of sheer boredom.
I come from a small town, not super small, but small enough. In small towns most people know each other, so people would have a hard time finding businesses and buildings to destroy that don't belong to folks they don't know. And it seems like people in small towns, knowing each other personally, going to school together, working and shopping together, try harder and do better to work out differences than in high population areas where there is a lot of anonymity.
PS. Sprite, you might be entertained by the fact that Macon has had minor league pro sports teams called the Macon Bacon, another the Macon Whoopies.
Pete Rose once played for the Macon Peaches AA minor league baseball team.
Peaceful assembly to protest is good. Invite the media. Wave. at passing cars.
But Violence, assaulting cars and drivers, smashing business windows, doors, and looting is not. Setting cars on fire is not. Blocking roads is not. Scaling walls and breaking into buildings is not. Sacking The Capitol is not. Threatening anyone's lives, including members of congress and the vice president is not. Beating people up, Assaulting police is not.
Violent protest is criminal.

Florida's governor wants to out-fascist Trump.
I wonder which slave skills the ultra- rightwing, white power Florida GOP likes the best?
1. The ability to take a long, skin-ripping beating by leather bullwhip.
2. Being put into a tiny hothouse for days without food and minimum water for speaking the wrong words.
3. Not being allowed to learn to read and write.
4. Having to work from well before sun up to well after sundown in extreme conditions with no right to ask for a break, and physical repercussions fir complaining.
5. Being chattel (the personal property of another human.)
6. Often having one's whife, husband, children, parents sold away to another master.
7. Developing sex skills in order to meet the sexual demands and molestation of one's owner, in. being a victim.
8. Being hunted down and lynched after being caught trying to escape to freedom.
9. Having no control over one's own life.
10. Being forced to live in nasty, inhumane conditions, often shackled.
11. Being told you're less than human.

That's not showing the best side of the democratic process, is it?
What's undemocratic about a political party voting a member out who does not fit in with their vales, beliefs, and doctrine?
If he doesn't fit, he can join another party, go independent, or start another political party. That's the grand thing about freedom, liberty, and democracy.
However, l can see current Republicans having a hard time with that as they evolve further into fascism.

To rephrase a question Ironic asked you above, and to which you did not respond, "Do you also chuckle about racial discrimination?"
Your posts to this thread persuade me that you support racial discrimination, but do you also find it humorous?
With your reasoning, you probably thought Mother Thersa was a serial killer.
Your attempts to seem non-bigoted are easily transparent. Try again. That is if you're not to busy with your harem of inflatable dolls.

Quote by ElCoco
The future of shopping in some of America’s cities will eventually evolve into the Soviet model of paying a clerk first at one counter, then waiting for your goods to be delivered at the next counter. Shoppers won’t be allowed near any of the merchandise. But that’s what happens when you elect Soviet-minded politicians.
Our remaining advantage over the Soviet model is that enough of America still works that there are goods behind the counter.
Several US catalog and showroom companies did that up until the internet offered them the chance to do that online.
Pay first, and wait for your package to arrive. Plus shipping fees.
