Are you feeling a little disgusted?
The Republicans have been offering almost daily a disgusting and embarrassing look at themselves, almost entirely driven by one crude and disgusting candidate.
Somehow, he has managed to manipulate and insult his way into the spotlight and has singlehandedly turned what used to be a boring and tedious exercise into an MMA circus, complete with disgusting sociopathic rantings, disgusting clowns, and disgusting physical and vocal confrontations between these disgusting clowns.
Not to be outdone by this disgusting candidate and his disgusting followers, we now have some of this same disgusting behavior demonstrated by followers of a Democratic candidate. I find this even more disgusting because the Dems usually show a little more class, are more open to others’ opinions, and are generally smarter than the new conservatives.
But, as demonstrated, they have succumbed to the successful model of disgusting political strategy and have adopted this disgusting behavior in support of their candidate.
How do we end this disgusting display, this disgusting blight upon our nation? Open carry at the conventions. Clean slate. Start over. Problem solved. You’re welcome.
