In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.

      Totally ending democracy. Which is bad. Trump said HE would end Democracy, which is good. But the Democrats sound like Democracy. which is bad, but “ending Democracy” is a way you can attack democrats, which is good. But Trump said he would be ending democracy, which is good. But we can eat ice cream, which is good, but we’re out and only have frozen yogurt, which is bad, but we have crushed up cookies and sprinkles, which is good. But the cookies have arsenic in them. Which is bad. But they are sugar free, which is bad, unless you have diabetes, which is also bad, you don’t have diabetes, which is good, but you have PRE diabetes, which is bad, but you can get out of work for extra doctors visits, which is good, but you have to pay the co-pay. Which is bad. But your wallet is old leather and smells like your grandpa, which is good. But your grandpa died 14 years ago, which is bittersweet, and a touch melancholy.

            lazy satire is generally not very funny. Mostly because politics has already satirized itself, and is inherently funny.

              Speaking in the first person is better than generalizing, but ok.

                unsure where we started generalizing, the generalization already happened, and you missed out on that meeting unfortunately.

                  Really? Where? Let’s not start with the passive-aggressive tones. I’d ask what rubbed you off the wrong way but I’d rather we stop if we’re going down that path.

                    its mostly a shitpost, the generalization happened in my head with the formation of that joke.
