This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I am from a very poor place in WV where most people are on assistance because there are no jobs.
Trump flags everywhere. Cars driving down the road with no tags or insurance, but Trump stickers all over.
I don’t get it. Well, actually I do.
Religion. The preacher says the gay is bad. Preacher says the trans is bad. Democrats want to extend basic rights to those people and preacher says god don’t like that.
There's also the idea that they've earned their government money. I once dealt with someone like that. Her ptsd disability money was earned unlike everyone else who didn't suffer for it in her eyes. Higher taxes meant her victims (she was emotionally abusive af) couldn't spend as much on her and higher government spending meant that the government couldn't spend as much on her.
These people don't think that their money will go away.
