I used to be a "My Country Right or Wrong" conservative. "Proud to be an American" and "Born in the USA" were my theme songs.
But then I grew up, and started paying attention. And now I just get more and more disgusted all the time. This presidential election cycle has give us Donald Trump, who is more racist and xenophobic every day, and the fucking people love him. There have been a couple of pieces of research done. Based on blog and Facebook postings, evaluating vocabulary, grammar and unique word usage, it has been determined that left leaning voters display a slightly higher intelligence than right leaning voters. In a separate study, it was demonstrated that among the reich right, the higher your level of education the less likely you are to support Trump. So his base is composed of the dumbest of the dumb and he is leading all other candidates in all polls.
He actually has a shot. What the fuck?
Then I see shit like this on Facebook: (My response below it)
I've replied to it, and actually created my own meme from it.
In response, I wrote:We also speak Russian, Polish, Spanish, Cherokee and 306 other languages.
Some of us are vegetarians, wine drinkers and pacifists.
If you think America is defined only by who YOU are then you don't understand America at all.
What the fuck is wrong with us? When did THAT become what America is about? Have I been naïve or is this a recent change?
I'm not proud anymore. I am saddened and disgusted.
Okay, I'm done. Time to go beat a broad, run over a few spics and maybe lynch a few niggers for fun.
