As a leftist, how do you feel about this man?

Once you stop being 17, you'll realize that not everything that gets old church ladies riled up carries inherent progressive value. To have a country savaged by drug dealers and addiction is nothing enviable. I'm glad he's cleaning things up

fuck off

you can fuck off too
