    I don’t know what kind of vibe I’m giving off, but I always seem to get the “Deepstate, amiright?!” drivers. Okay, that’s a lie… I do know my vibe… I live in a Texas suburb and I’m a cishet white guy who wears cargo shorts and dadcaps and likes sports.

    I hate it, but still, this person is taking me somewhere I need to be so I want to be nice, but I can’t quite bring myself to pretend to agree. Unfortunately, a polite “Oh, I’m not sure I’m sold on that” just gets them helpfully trying to probe, “so why would Kamala do a pizzagate if she weren’t a lizard person?”

    Fuck me, I need some tattoos.

      Maybe you can try a slightly firmer disagreement statement immediately followed by a change of topic before he can respond. Like driver: “Deepstate, amiright?!” You: “Nah, that’s not the reality of the situation, but on the other hand deep dish pizza is something i can really get behind. Do you like deep dish pizza?”
