I’m progressive but don’t support all “progressives”. If you consider yourself a Republican and/or is a member of the GOP - fuck you and go to hell. I’m an application developer. I enjoy plucking the strings of a classical guitar, strumming a tenor ukulele, and reading a good book. I have a special interest in nutrition. Pro tip: it’s the refined carbs and seed oils, stupid.
If you support Trump - go fuck yourself.
