    Randy Fine is perfectly representative of the disgusting people who make up his Florida district. Florida is one of the biggest cesspools of idiocy and bigotry that I’ve ever encountered.

    But they hear “landback” (without bothering to google what it means) and say you wanna deport all white people back to Europe, and you’re literally Hitler
