      He absolutely is one of, if not the worst republican of all time.

      He weaponized the demonization of fellow Americans to win elections.

      He started all the shit we are dealing with from the republican party now

        Lincoln’s assassination was a pretty big part of the south getting away with their insurrection.

        But the constitution was fucked by the slave drivers from the start. And it ends with our non-representative congress, and presidents elected with a minority of the popular vote.

          In the end it was all because of Eve and that stupid apple, or maybe the snake. Why was there a tree in the first place? Also was it really necessary to make a universe? Now that’s where the trouble really started!

    One of my life’s biggest regrets, I missed seeing RATM live at the St Paul GOP convention because I was seeing a taping of the Daily Show there, and this fucker turned out to be the guest.
