    You joke (probably not), but I was once complaining to my group chat about getting stopped by my job in a "sting" type thing, saying I was on my phone (i wasnt and the thing was dropped). Anyway, my chud friend was so close, complaining how these traffic laws are just ways to suck money from.working people a lot of the time. However, his solution was something along the lines of remove traffic laws, make it harder to get licenses, this will separate the wheat from the chaffe, and the rest can get "bus passes with all the other knuckle draggers."

    I was in complete awe at his stupidity and yeah, called him out on that dog whistle.

    What I'm saying is, you're right... we'd never accept this lol

      This fits squarely into the the common brainworms of the car is the best transportation there is if all the other schmucks couldn't drive one. Car drivers all hate each other, too

        100% what's the Carlin quote, everyone behind you is a moron everyone ahead of you is an asshole.

        This deadly combo of feeling invincible and being in a competition.
