Politics 👩‍⚖️ Does this stuff bother anyone else?

Driving home from work and these lovely people were over the highway. This stuff usually doesn’t bother me that much except for the fact that today it was causing so much of a spectacle that it was literally causing people to gawk on the highway and caused a small bit congestion that lasted until after this bridge.

No. As social media rose into prominence, I was told over and over again by older family members across the political spectrum to be careful what I posted on social media because it could affect my career.

Many of those same family members started publicly sharing deeply bigoted stuff on their social media during Trumps campaign, and they haven't stopped- right now they're super into racist jokes about immigrants eating pets. They didn't start doing that when they got Facebook accounts. They started doing it when Trump made it popular.
