    It’s honestly a testament to the decline of the United States’ average IQ that Turning Point USA is taken seriously.

    Charlie Kirk was an embarrassment. Anyone that took him seriously is a genuine moron.

      Kirk: Ok, I’m not being racist or anything, but black people literally are too stupid to be doctors or fly planes.

      Student: blinks

      Kirk: I said it isn’t racist.

      Student: blinks

      Kirk: You can’t dislike it. It is a clutches chest deeply held religious belief. You are being a bigot.

    I wish christians were as persecuted as much as these dumb fucks claim they are, then maybe I wouldn’t have to constantly hear about all their weird hangups or have to put up with all the hateful legislation they are always passing.

      I think they are actually. Where I live in the Maritimes old churches are going up for sale and being converted to homes, apartments, music venues, etc. Other churches have been abandoned and are falling into disrepair.

      It’s fantastic.

          Kind of lets you know how much it’s dying I guess.

          I run across the Jesus freaks, and some Catholic types, but most of them are older. The young people don’t really seem interested in magic.
