Disease follows MAGA. It's no accident.

MAGA as a whole presents itself as an adolescent rebellion against what they consider adult authority.

They won't effing obey instructions to wash their hands after taking a dump; they'll make sure that they bring those hands to dinner, they'll make sure they make your peanut butter sandwiches using those same hands.

Snot-nosed kids, defiantly filthy by design.

I never believed in the notion of retrograde culture before MAGA.

Well, they prove it's a thing. Prove it wth their lives as often as need be.

Ebola's coming.

"Just 10 measles cases were reported among international travelers so far this year, according to CDC data."

Any Republicans wanna explain to this libtard why Trump is keeping our borders open for these subhuman disease-carrying immigrants?
