      You know what would REALLY own us liberals? If they protested by wearing suits and masks made entirely of asbestos fiber. I don’t even know what we’d do at that point.

        I hear a lot of woke trans liberal immigrant scientists say wearing an asbestos mask is bad.

      They already did. Trump reversed many asbestos regulations during his administration.

      Donald Trump Called Asbestos Poisoning A Mob-Led Conspiracy, Now His EPA Won’t Evaluate Asbestos Already In Homes

      A Russian asbestos producer put the face of Trump as a mascot on their product because of his positive stance and deregulation of asbestos.
