Enough With This Faux Bipartisanshit

December 12, 2022

We should have suspected that the Ratpublican Party wanted nothing to do with America when they chose an elephant as their symbol. While the elephant is a wonderful and intelligent being (two traits which could never be associated with Ratpublicans) there are no elephants found naturally in North America, except for those brought here against their will as slaves (mostly from Africa, ironically enough) to be put on display, mostly for the pleasure of white people.

Actual, real elephants in Africa

Fucked up, phony elephants in America

Yes, the symbol of the Democratic Party is a Jackass, which has some less-than-flattering connotations, but does at least inhabit this land. It is time for Ratpublicans to update their image to something more American, like a weasel, or better yet, an oil spill. Leave the majestic and already-tortured Elephants out of this mess. 

Rogue Elephant

Speaking of brain-damaged animals, Marge Trailer Greene was bragging to a room of MAGAts that she and twice-convicted (so far) felon Steve Bannon would have done a more Second Amendment-y, more successful overthrow of the United States government (you know, the one she is currently pretending to be part of) than her peeps perpetrated on Jan 6, if they had been in charge. Heckofa job Margie.

“I got to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”

So, next time Marge? I know this plea has been a bit over and much less appropriately used but please, for democracy's sake, “Lock her up.” After a fair trial of course. But don't get too persnickety on the jury-of-her-peers business.

And remember, approximately 27,000,000 of Turmp’s Ratpublicans believe that Joe Biden’s presidency is illegitimate and should be overturned using violence. No self-respecting elephant would be caught anywhere near such pathetic losers. Real elephants are caring and intelligent.
