Dear Political Crybabies:
If you pitch a hissy fit all over the news because a CARTOON takes a swipe at your favorite political ticket, and subsequently contend, “It’s just a stupid cartoon, nobody cares, it can’t hurt us,” you have successfully completed the transformation from Drama Llama™ to Hippo Crit™ (major characters in the upcoming Media Circus™ collectible card game). If nobody cares and it’s not hurting you, you shouldn’t be calling attention to it. And if people do care and it is hurting you, you still shouldn’t be calling attention to it, because it wouldn’t have gone viral if you hadn’t, and far fewer people would be laughing at you now.
Also, if you tell your supporters to steal your opponent’s signs as a “tangible expression of their loyalty,” you might also consider telling them not to go on the national news to announce that you told your supporters to steal your opponent’s signs as a “tangible expression of their loyalty.” Adding “thievery” to the ”racism” and “misogyny” and “widespread, generalized hate” themes at the parties you host scrapes a little extra altitude off the moral high ground you claim to be running on. In case you hadn’t noticed, the only people you’re impressing with this tactic are of the increasingly unsavory variety.
But keep it up, by all means. Your embassadors of ill will are scaring the waverers in a direction I heartily approve.
Very truly the other guy’s,
Ker

*gasp* The Kerry-Monster. She speaks Common Sense.
NOOOOOOOOO!!
All silliness aside, I avoid the news like a plague now so I haven’t heard anything about this but yes, people routinely make idiots of themselves over politics. I’m so over it.
