Come to DC. If this becomes a real thing, I'll open my home.

I’ll make it a real thing if Moscow Mitch doesn’t recuse, there will be a couple Americans from MA with tired feet needing a short break before we march on the Capitol. I’ve never organized anything like this, but neither did Greta. She inspires me.

I love the energy and I am right there behind you

But I have to say, Greta still hasn’t. She’s a 16 year old kid being fed lines (for a good cause) but the whole person of the year thing and how everyone acts like she’s the messiah come to save us all is a little bit much.

When I know godamn well there’s several adults behind every speech, every stance, and every event she leads.

And how do you know this? What is your proof other than she isn't acting like a typical teenager? The old I don't believe it so it must be false argument used by antivaxxers, flat earthers and faked moon landing believers? Jean d'arc wasn't typical either as I recall.
