It's a good thing I put my warpaint on today! I had a little back and forth with my sister about the crazy phone call we had yesterday.
Trying to talk to my sister while my Dad yap yap yaps in the background about communists and immigrants taking over MURICA and about how I'm hiding out in Germany because, according to Detective Dad, the only reason I'd could have ever voted for a Democrat is because I'm CLEARLY (BIG emphasis on clearly) a Nazi.🤪Yelling about how much I got "paid" for it. 😏
@quinnsentialOne I would love a fraction of the money I'm supposed to be getting paid for being a liberal... 😂
@princesscarolyn I know, riiight!
Give me some of those big banging Librul Bux!
Pay extra, because I switched teams! 😂
@quinnsentialOne @princesscarolyn It is my understanding that there is a finders fee for whoever got you to switch sides, and a bonus for you.
@quinnsentialOne @princesscarolyn There are also some very tasteful Antifa t-shirts as well as some progress flags. You'll find those in your complementary giftbag. Also, joking aside. I'm sorry. I've been lucky, my parents were/are both Red Tories, and as the Canadian Conservative Party has drifted every loonier/rightward, my Dad says he didn't leave the party, it left him.
@Camerondotca @princesscarolyn I have heard that Canada has been having its share of "What the FXXX!?"
@quinnsentialOne @princesscarolyn yeah. Basically our parties now range from "oh jeez, how did that work out down south" to "Center left, if we really have to be". The green party was once described as "conservatives who like pot and recycling" The Bloc Quebecois was left, but is now.. erm.. I'm trying to translate.. ethnic nationalists I guess. It's not great. So you vote for the center left or centrist party and feel sad.
@Camerondotca @princesscarolyn I guess, at the very least, you have one or two more choices?
@quinnsentialOne @princesscarolyn oh heaps more. Basically it used to be that our entire political spectrum would fit within the Democrats. Nowadays we've got folks who'd fit nicely into the R category. Provincially, at least for Quebec, there is at least one genuinely lefty party, sot that's nice.
@quinnsentialOne @princesscarolyn (I mean, they're crap in their own way, but better than absolute shit). Montreal has a progressivist government. Which is niceish.
@Camerondotca @princesscarolyn
Sweet! I wonder if they can cut me in on that deal! 🤔
