"I'm living in WV... the Democrats have completely collapsed my state!"

19. I get that.

And I don’t want to alienate people like you, drum.

But we’re about to embark on (an at least) four year journey of fascism, incompetence, pettiness, vindictiveness, institutionalized douchebaggery, and moral squalor because the very people I described couldn’t be bothered to vote for competent, experienced, moral, progressive, and devoted public servants.

They genuinely thought a reality tv star was an acceptable candidate for the Presidency, despite the fact that he proved himself a colossal fuckup the first time around.

I don’t care if a person is nice one-on-one, smiles and says ‘howdy’ on the street. Who they are in the voting booth is who they really are. So they bring a tasty dish to the bean supper. How does that help our country? A country for which I nearly bought it because of a Scud missile?

I don’t know if this will earn back some of your good regard, drum. But I absolutely love Cleveland. And always have. (Maybe there’s a lesson here for me). I never understood the jokes. I visited the city twice, and have loved it both times. The people are kind, warm, friendly, and generous. I love Cleveland.
