Snowflakes and all other liberals
Have a common trait in their skin-
No matter how light or dark it is
The outer wrapping is paper thin
They whine if they’re confronted
And have a tantrum if you persist-
They’re vituperous and obnoxious
Whenever they decide to be pissed
Their claim to be against violence
Is proven false at just every turn-
The moment they are called out
They light stuff on fire to burn...
How true!.........................A++++!.....................
Thank you!
