it also goes without saying that even though this is the “first annual torchlight hike”, the second was never scheduled, as after 2017 marching around with torches became way too loud a dogwhistle. anyway, here’s one of these weird German fuckers demoing their video editing suite using only pictures of Trump for some reason

But maybe they were just really into torches. That's a totally normal everyday thing that people do. Doesn't everyone prefer the illumination of a naked flame compared to a modern flashlight?

You just don't like people having hobbies. \s
