He mentioned Palestine and immigration as the reasons why he voted for Trump. Tell me that he could have pointed to Gaza on a map a couple of years ago. Tell me that he was protesting in any way, even signing online petitions for Yemen.
As for immigration, how many foreign workers does he see in Maine?
This kid was duped by influencers in the reich-wing manosphere. I hope that the Democratic party is working on effective counter measures.
