For every one of us, like Martina, there are 1,000 of the people like in this video who will never listen to reason. They only want to hear some good punchline, some talking point, some bumper sticker bullshit, and they'll tell everyone they know to vote for the polluting guy, the guy who is a felon, swamp rat, scum bag. They'll shout at the top of their lungs, don't listen to reason, that's hard. Listen to the guy who's lying to you. Because he says on day 1, he'll fix everything.

You watch!
