When TikTok comes back and they announce that one of those gross nerdy fucks bought it I WILL NOT BE BACK.

So I'm Zillow-browsing for fun, and I happened across a $42,000,000 ranch... and its main selling point is literally "We took this land from the Indians in a battle."

Who the fuck buys this and also what the fuck?

People pointing out that "Trump started it" are missing the point.

Millions of young Americans judge the real and immediate impacts to their lives.

A ban didn't happen during Trump.

A Dem administration did, a direct impact on many young American's lives.

And now Trump may bring it back.
