    This picture does cut off the two candidates on the left who didn’t raise their hands, and I’m not 100% Pence raised his hand in supporting Trump but don’t remember. Otherwise more or less accurate.

      jfc. 12 solid years of trying to follow this fucking shitshow of a country and I just can’t handle it these days.

        I think it’s one of the reasons I’ve been following Ukraine so closely. It’s a sad conflict, but it gives me a sense of hope seeing united people who genuinely give a fuck about their country and what they can achieve.

          Interesting…

          I think I’m doing the same thing without realizing it until you mentioned it. If that’s the case, it is really fucked up train of thought and speaks volumes about the state of the world right now… .

      Pence had some hesitation, but like the rest, he buckled to the cheers of the crowd and raised his hand.

                I wish to go back to the party of nuance

                Motherfucker said this with a straight face while being sad that the party isn’t like it was when the Republicans were principled and were just making up lies to get us into trillion dollar wars. Or was it when they were illegally trading arms with foreign dictatorships? Funding nun-killers? Spying on their opposition? Using the office of the presidency to carry out personal vendettas? Lying about a trillion dollar war again!!!

                When is this mythical time when you weren’t all giant pieces of shit? Gotta go back to Lincoln?

            The religious right has infected the party

            Bro Goldwater warned about that sixty fucking years ago. Nice that you’ve caught on, I guess? Christian’s aren’t even the issue with your party anymore, it’s avowed Nazis and people like you, members of an avowed Nazi party who pretend it’s not, who pretend it can be saved, who pretend it was ever noble. Wake the fuck up and stop making space for Nazis. Are you a Nazi? If not, why are you a member of a Nazi party? Republicans, even “the good ones,” are so fucking brain dead. An entire stage of people trying to represent “your party” and you hate all of them, but the idea that maybe these chucklefucks are your party and you should get out is barely a blip.
