They really are just like us, come look, she even worked at mcdonalds.
If she were from the east coast, we could have a "from White Castle to White House" slogan.
I've spent my entire life on the east coast and, to my knowledge, never been anywhere near a White Castle restaurant.
Though I would love to go to one. The frozen sandwiches are fantastic by my low standards.
Makes it sound like a downgrade tbh
TIL. Those who have worked in the food industry, will always have way more respect for somebody else who has worked in the food industry.
That shit is hard. I wonder if she had that moment many in that industry have had crying in the cooler.
Aw, that's not fair to presidents elected prior to 1955 that never had the chance to work at McDonalds.
George Washington would have made a fine Big Mac.
He probably would've been fired for insisting on using quarter pounder patties. Damn rebel.
Breast or thigh?
Glad to see a colleague in the Oval Office
As an non-american that seems very patriotic.
"oh yeah, well i played at a McDonald's commercial!"
— some old weirdo, probably
Why can't she go to the white house? Why would a president need to work out of a mcdonalds? ...
The same reason NASA used an abandoned McDonalds for dome projects.
Everybody got a side hustle these days I guess
Wait, the MacDonald's? The one I saw featured prominently in 1988's Mac and Me? Radical!
No, you're thinking of McDowell's from 1988's Coming to America.
The American dream, it's still alive. From dishes cleaner to president. /s
A president will work at McDonald's? Cool!
Oh, that's probably why conservatives fear her. Not the legal background.
She doesn't just relate to millennials and younger, she's suffered like millennials and younger
She’s gen-x
Gen-x got fucked over big time in a way we millenials didn’t, but only because the expectation for them was so much higher. They got almost the same raw deal we did without the previous generation to buffer them.
They shouted and raised the alarm bells about what was being done to millenials and younger.
Lots of gen x slipped right in with the boomers and have their life, but many many more are out here struggling with us millennials except they didn’t grow up in a world where it was apparent it was slipping from them.
Gen-xers are gonna be huge for us honestly.
My parents and my girlfriend's parents were both gen x. Mine bought a house in the 90s and lived the middle class dream. Nothing fancy but regular camping trips and occasional vacations. Girlfriend's got destroyed by the 08 crash and grew up in borderline poverty. We are in vastly different places financially and it's pretty fucked.
She jokes that I tell my parents "mummy look, I've adopted a poor" in an English accent.
The worst part is my mom recently told me to invest in real estate because it only goes up. I'm like "yeah because old fucks like you hoard it and reduce the supply so nobody my age can afford one." Love them but damn they're boomer brained sometimes.
Younger gen-x here. You nailed it.
Contrary to trump, she actually worked in her life.
Times are hard when you have to work two jobs by running the country and flipping burgers.
