Meet the George and Martha of the emboldened Right
This is five minutes long, but it is a shiver-inducing five minutes. The final scene of last week’s episode of “Walking Dead,” in which our hero finds himself trapped beneath a tank while hordes of crawling undead grasp at him, has nothing on this true-life scene of formerly dating young conservatives debating their personal affection for the cruel impacts of “Republican Fight Club” while the moderator chuckles nervously over one affront after another. It would be too much to say that these people represent some large segment of the people now romping into office, but that they represent even themselves, even some small aspect of humanity, is disturbing enough.

TO A PERSON…every one of these people were members of the AV club where everyone went to high school. The only one missing is Karl Rove, the overunderlord of all AV club alumni.
The only thing that makes them scarier than they are is that they got in FRONT of the camera.
Just listen to them chortle, they sound like a panel at the Comic Con discussing
the black and white costumed Superman, or on whether there’s a chance that
Brad Bird will make a sequel to The Incredibles. There’s only 8 people in that little room
and they just HAD to see that panel…you know the kind.
Yes, I know, the trouble is they’re gonna be part of what’s running Congress for 2 years…
big fucking deal, some of the Continental Congreses (Congressi?) were going to surrender to
King George. We all know what a bright idea that would have been. And don’t get
me started on how fucking gay militias are…a bunch of warrior queens…they make the
bad guy in Avatar look butch, and he was a total bitchbottom! Where that came from, I just don’t know.
