So we all understand: this is the difference between [View all]

allowable national perceptions of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

Democratic Party: Gary Hart was by most accounts the odds-on favorite to be the nominee for the Presidency in 1988. A photo was leaked of a hot young woman sitting on this married man’s lap. Done. Finished. Kaput. Instantly. No discussion, no maybes. Just gone. Vanished like Keiser Soze.

Republican Party: Donald Trump. Admitted adulterer. Married three times and cheated on every wife. Criminal convictions numbering 34. On tape saying he grabs women by their genitalia. Known to frequent parties and homes with underaged females and accused of having relations with same. Owner of beauty pageants specifically featuring underage females and literally brags about walking into dressing rooms containing naked females in this age range. Found liable for sexually Assaulting a woman in a department store. Stated that avoiding STD’s in the 1970’s was his “personal Vietnam”. And much much more. Elected President of these United States not once, wherein he doomed over a million individuals to death by lying about the severity of a pandemic, but twice.


I am aware that this is the tip of his criminally perverted rap sheet, but the contrast between the two individuals named here is, well, prodigious.

We may summarize as follows: the old adage was: Don’t stick your dick into crazy. The new saying for a Democrat is: Don’t even THINK about sticking your dick into anyone or anything. The new saying for Republicans is: Anything goes, have a great time.

(Postscript: the I was lectured to was: Don’t stick your dick into crazy unless you’re willing to awakened one morning and find the word “Betrayer” written on your car in dog s—t. Truer words never spoken. )
