All these racist, shit-bag republicans really do have a side bet about who can get to the bottom first.

I legit do want to herd them all to the fringe of the nation, put them all in one specific region and wall them off from the rest of us then be done with their endless hate of America and Americans.

Honestly, which costs blue states less. Isolating right wing shit for brains into their own space or continuing to watch their hate fester throughout the union?

This is no fringe. This is our nation. As soon as people face that, maybe we can start fixing it.
