Also, crazy story, I was debating mentioning this or how many details to include because I'm trying not to doxx myself but it's too relevant not to:
I go to uconn, and I almost dated a pretty bougie liberal guy at our college, situationship type deal I guess. This dude has a lot of connections in politics. Pretty driven guy for a 20 y/o, he was the student government president at one of the regional campuses of our school AND has an internship with our congressman.
Somehow, he knew Lamont and hung out with him a few times (invited to gatherings at his mansion type shit). Still surprises me a little, I guess they were sort of friends, and he was straight up included in one of his many 2022 campaign ads. He showed me a picture with him too.
Anyways, earlier this year, uconn students protested against the governor right outside the state capitol, because of his budget cuts that ended up seriously raising tuition (covid relief money going away I guess). I text that guy how he feels about all this, and he told me he joined the protests and planned to stop talking to Lamont. Tho I also got into an argument with him about uconn endorsing those protests as a scapegoat for overcharging us either way.
Yeah it's a small world. Murphy followed me on twitter for years because a guy I grew up with worked on his OG campaign. Think I told him to shut the fuck up one too many times though. I can't believe how much Storrs has changed. I grew up around there and all the places cops used to chase us on horses are apartments and shit now. I think they forgot the only reason they jave the land is because they're an agricultural school
Holy shit people reading this are gonna think CT is the size of a village lmao. But yeah he also told me something about some CT politicians snorting coke or something? Don’t remember the details but he had some fun gossip
Idk if you've heard of apathy kinda local yokel rapper DJ'd a show on WHUS for a bit, he had some stories. Kinda referenced it in this song https://youtu.be/mCyz47qoKGc
