Every so often there will be some celebrity who moves to Texas and embarrassingly pretends to be a cowboy and people think this will discredit them among Texans, as if fake cowboys didn't outnumber real ones 1000:1 in Texas already. "pretend to be a cowboy" is the actual culture!
Ever been to a Kenny Chesney concert?
Look based on what Trumpism consists of, maybe the thing the forgotten young male voters actually do yearn for is children of immense privilege who adopt the trashy working class signifiers as a costume. Those guys have done great in the last 10 years!

I also want to help these people, as insane & evil as they are. But in this case, they didn't make it difficult, they literally made it impossible– they took the $5m, called us communists for giving it to them, and then sat on it so it wouldn't help people in blue states. The paradigm has to change
i still disagree with the sentiment; there's good people everywhere, and we help people because it's the right thing to do.
that said some people do NOT make it easy.

This is a case where the people who are like "we have to stop helping rural trump voters who hate us" are kind of vindicated: we literally gave these people millions of dollars for their own benefit, no strings attached, and they were completely enraged

This, however, would imply a confusion in the divine mind. It is more correct to say that in Paradise, Szyslak learned that, for the unfathomable divinity, he and Bart of Springfield (the orthodox believer and the heretic, the joker and the joke, the accuser and the accused) formed one single person

"The end of this story can only be related in metaphors since it takes place in the kingdom of heaven, where there is no time. Perhaps it would be correct to say that Szyslak spoke with God and that He was so little interested in crank phone calls that He took him for Bart of Springfield...

Did the Mutterers do this for any particular observable reason, or was it just a sort of result of their "fixing-things" instinct misinterpreting a feature as a bug/vice versa?
