Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

This is what the word "cringe" was created for.

Like, I've always had a bit of an impostor syndrome as a grown adult because I never quite felt "grown up enough".

But seeing people like him makes me feel so much better about myself, because at least I'm not THAT.

1 out of 2 people in Quebec are only 200$ away from bankruptcy.

But, go on François Legault and CAQ, and tell us how the real issues in the province are "street prayers", wokeness and doctor unions.

Alternatively:

The hollywood atheist trope.

Not everybody ends up non-religious because a horrible traumatizing event in their life.

Not every non-religious person is a raging asshole angry at God and religious people.

Movie trope that needs to die :

Progressives / Pacifists / Activists who refuse to use a gun in a moment of emergency.

The issue is that sometimes, as irrational as it might sound, they both overlap.

I have actually met fujoshis in the past that were obsessing over MLM stuff, but would still say to your face that they didn't agree with same-sex marriage.

Women who basically obsess over depictions of gay relationships and gay sex.

It originally comes from the yaoi fandom.
