I feel ya brother. I lived in DC for a few years. I was never a lefty but since I was young, poor, and an alcoholic, I hung out mostly with super lefties. It can be very very frustrating because they're so clearly brainwashed, but also nobody wants to wake up because you'll end up cutting yourself off from your community and forget ever getting laid ever again. Hang in there anon. Or even just get the funk out of DC if you can. I would never go back there, not unless the Beast was dead!
Jesus, ridiculous!
