Some nonsense does seem to be accepted more by one part of the political spectrum than the other... For instance: People that believe in the healing power of crystals and essential oils tend to be on the Left. People that believe people with brown skin are inferior demons that deserve to have their children stolen from them tend to be on the Right... Deciding the lesser of two evils isn't a hard call to make here...

Deciding the lesser of two evils isn’t a hard call to make here…

And that all went down in Tampa, my home town. I guess my suspicions were correct all along. Underneath the thin veneer of 19th century Cuban immigrant civilization lies the rotting drywall of redneck, inbred, banjo-plucking, albino, hair-on-their-teeth, cross-burning trailer trash peckerheads.
