As part of my ongoing investigation into the hopeless collapse San Francisco I went to Dolores Park. I know I am kind of cheating here, but if the doomers can post the same four blocks of the TL, I can post a picture of a park on a sunny day right?

@kevinnbass Conservatives have abandoned reason, objectivity and intellectualism and are not even interested in pursuing careers in science, law, medicine or journalism. The rot starts when conservatives replaced classical liberalism with conspiratorial narratives.
