I wish people would stop using the Crowder meme template.

From now on, I'll adhere to the "Calvin: Change my mind" meme format. Thank you for your input. 🫡

He’s a right wing piece of shit who constantly says and does the most unhinged shit. Don’t really follow him, but from the top of my head, he mocked George Floyd’s death, he mocks trans people on a regular basis..

Because he's an asshole. A grifting asshole to be specific.

I feel like I would never get along with anyone who has an attitude of "I believe X. Change my mind." I can't imagine anyone starting a conversation that way is not an asshole.

i used to think it was a cool argument style like 6 years ago (i was probably 14) til i learned he was a nut and the change my mind is because of the republican (and religous) fear of being wrong not because he ever wanted his mind changed

i almost took the pill tho i luckily saved myself using critical thinking and not really caring about politics. i just wanted to hear a "smart" guy talk.

Oh i get it now. The person in the photo is an asshole in real life. It only took me a day of wondering why would someone be an asshole for not liking a meme template 😅
