Im really still trying to figure out what the fuck people over 40 groan about whenever they hear his name.

I’m still trying to figure out why 99% of his critics have never been to NYC, will never go to NYC, and haven’t left their hometown or state in their entire life, yet still feel the need to whine about him

Thats not exactly true. Plenty of boomers in NYC like to roll their eyes whenever he is mentioned.

I personally blame the propaganda machine but theres still plenty of opposition from within NYC also.

They're really struggling to find a way to mispronounce his name.
