They were just terrible roommates (made huge messes and didnt pick up after themselves, one moved their girlfriend in). Most of them managed to love the show despite being conservative or centrist, and they just weren’t fun to be around. Like they had strong issues with depression and substance abuse and didn’t do anything to work on it.
Like I donno, I doubt the show existing or not existing would have changed shit about them but I still associate it with them.
The $2000 thing makes me wonder if he could actually win in 2024, it’s such a 2016 Donald move. But I donno, its like one smart thing he’s done in a year where he’s done an absolutely shit job running for re-election and four years from now he’s gonna be even more grotesque (granted, so will Biden).
