I keep thinking about that guy that had to shutter his political career because of one awkward yell at a campaign rally. Or Al Franken. How did we get from there to here?
Imagine being 18 years old and this kind of insanity is all you’ve ever known.
AND WERE GOONG TO WHITE HOUSE ! HEYAAH
Fucking classic
Honestly I’d give my left testicle to even have John McCain back in office. I didn’t like that guy but atleast when he talked about Obama he said something like “no he’s not a Muslim and he’s not going to ruin the country. He’s a fine man we just disagree “
Or something like that.
I’d trade trump for McCain right now if it was an option.
So I agree WTF happened to politics! They aren’t even trying to be shady anymore.
We know the government doesn’t have aliens now atleast because trump would have announced it, say he found them, and name the species after himself.
Trump told a lot of stupid, hateful people that their bigotry and ignorance weren't merely justified, they were righteous in their beliefs
He told them that their hatred made them better than the people they fear
He promised them that he would hurt the people they dislike, and they're hoping that they'll get to hurt them too
And too many people in the US are stupid, ignorant, afraid and full of hatred
It was a different time back then.
