As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.

I just learned that if you respond to a political text with "fuck off" it's the same as responding "STOP2END".
Will it work? Prob not. But! I enjoy saying "fuck off".
