You kids just don’t know what it’s like! When I was 19, it was 2002, and do you know who we had as a president? We had an idiot that couldn’t socially function, but the republicans made excuses for him daily. You don’t know what that’s like.

When I was 19, the republicans in texas were trying to reshape our lexicons by calling it “freedom fries” when everybody knew that was just a thinly veiled attempt at pushing racism through by removing the name of a foreign country from a well established term. You don’t know what it’s like.

When I was 19, there was an unwarrented mass hysteria that we were going to be entering WWIII soon, even though no nation wanted that. You’d turn on the news every night and see stories of war overseas, and think something bigger was about to erupt. You don’t know what that’s like.

When I was 19, we had a president that made up his own phrases, such as fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me twice…can’t get fooled again!

Well then the other republicans would DEFEND his misuse of language and covfefe him! You don’t know what that’s like.

When I was 19, everybody complained about everything being made in china, but nobody actually did anything to STOP that from being the case. They’d just blame china as an easy political fall guy who they didn’t need to worry about consequences of. You don’t know what that’s like.

And hey, if it’s 3 hours until close, and the boss says to put 6 potatoes in the oven…and you put 8? oopsie poopsie! That’s how you had to eat during a time when the politcal regime didn’t care about it’s people! You don’t know what that’s like!
