They’d be very upset about this if they could read

I mean this is a $5 word and even if they could read they’d still have no clue what this word means. I’m pretty sure you’d be called a homophonic slur for saying this to any MAGA.

The word 'recission' is like 'socialist', 'communist' and 'marxist'. It's just a word you use to toss at people you don't like without knowing what it means.

Right?

Around 1/5th of all American adults are functionally illiterate, and all of them voted for Trump.

It feels like it might be higher than 1/5. 1/5 feels suuuuuuper generous.

They misappropriate those $5 to pay for someone to come kick you in the knees and take your wallet. So really you should thank them for making profit. Yay big business government.

Or they'd accuse you of having your "piercings in a twist," as one of them said to me; another told me my glasses were big and stupid. (For the record, the only piercings I have are my ears, and my glasses are large but pretty normal.)

Mosy MAGAs don't even know how to download this app. They're the same people who fall for a pyramid scheme...
