    It’s mostly been conservatives that have a problem with this, not progressives for the most part. I mean sure some progressives are against but they’re by far the minority.

    I know progressives and democrats, and conservatives and Republicans, aren’t the same thing, but you get the picture. I think most on the left would prefer to stand up to authoritian genocidal governments, whereas many conservatives crazily see a lot they like in Russian government and want the US to embrace them.

      Oops. I meant to type conservatives, but, my fingers typed progressives. Just like last week when I meant to type “got him” and my fingers typed “gotton” which isn’t a word.

          My favorite one is when half my brain was thinking I was hungry, and my mouth was asking my friend if he wanted to drive to the baseball game, or use public transportation.

          What came out of my mouth was “Do you want to drive the hot dog to the game? Or should we take the bus?”

          My friend looked at me like a confused puppy tilting their head hoping to see things from a new perspective. Finally he just blurts out “Do you think I have access to the Oscar-Meyer Weinermobile???”

          Me, not realizing I said “hot dog” instead of “jeep” was quite confused. So I had no idea why he was bringing up the Oscar-Mayer Weinermobile, just asked “…wha…do you? DO you have access to the Oscar-Meyer Weinermobile?”

          “NO!!!”

          “Then why’d you bring it up?”
