Yes, I don't think Americans realise how good they have it with Mexican food. Ditto with barbecue.

The sheer number of people who support and vote for a party who will do absolutely nothing for them, and will enact policies that will drive them even further into poverty and destitution just so their Parasite-Class campaign donors can get even more obscenely wealthy. Conservative voters are just weird, man.

I mean, we have deep blue (Conservative) ridings too.

Oh we realize it. We don’t take kindly to anyone who doesn’t take it seriously. Have you ever seen the old Pace salsa commercials where they’re going to lynch the guy who brought salsa from NYC? That’s how serious we are about Mexican food and BBQ.
