― the late great, Thursday, 25 September 2014 02:23 (eleven years ago)

i like the old time religious prejudice of 'are left-handed' but its hard to beat ARE WHITE in all caps

― ≖_≖ (Lamp), Thursday, 25 September 2014 02:25 (eleven years ago)

my favorite part is maybe how the beard they show is a goatee

― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 September 2014 02:26 (eleven years ago)

but there are lots of great parts

― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 September 2014 02:26 (eleven years ago)

they shdve used diff fonts to represent the diff races tho imo

― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 September 2014 02:27 (eleven years ago)

At least the guy behind it is honest:

Minchillo is not advising any campaigns at the moment. That, he says, makes it the perfect time to start a grassroots campaign to change the Republican Party’s image. And yes, it is a grassroots effort—no Koch money involved.
But what if the Koch brothers did want to get involved?
“I’d just hand it over,” he said.

― EMA Sumac (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 25 September 2014 02:32 (eleven years ago)

i love how even with high production values it manages to strike such a relentlessly odd tone

― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 September 2014 02:33 (eleven years ago)

it would probably be a wise investment for the koch brothers to just give this guy $50,000, take over for him, and never do anything with it again

― Karl Malone, Thursday, 25 September 2014 02:33 (eleven years ago)

'Republicans are white' is the 'I'm not a witch' of september 14.

yeah like anyone was accusing republicans of being not people kinda a weird thing to get defensive about

― lag∞n, Thursday, 25 September 2014 03:42 (eleven years ago)

i know i think im the only one with a "republicans are literally not people" bumper sticker, it is not a popular notion

― owe me the shmoney (m bison), Thursday, 25 September 2014 03:48 (eleven years ago)

Criminals are people, too.

― Aimless, Thursday, 25 September 2014 03:49 (eleven years ago)

almost feel like that "republicans have feelings" card is like what republicans think sensitive democrats sound like

like what do they do if theyre not going to the driving range or shooting ranger or endangering life on the planet shit they probably talk about FEELINGS lets put that in

― owe me the shmoney (m bison), Thursday, 25 September 2014 03:50 (eleven years ago)

it's like a creepily benevolent alien race that's recently arrived on our planet and gently inserted themselves into running the planet decided to beam this vid into the homes of wary earthlings.

― LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Thursday, 25 September 2014 03:53 (eleven years ago)

that would explain why all these GOPers look like they are stifling agony in literally everything in this. like the lady at trader joe's is like FUCK THIS NATURAL DEODORANT MY MAN NEEDS MITCHUM or like the gourmet meal folks are some burned onions away from ordering papa john's

― owe me the shmoney (m bison), Thursday, 25 September 2014 03:56 (eleven years ago)

also there is literally no photo evidence of republicans recycling, just a picture of a blue bin and your imagination to fill in the rest

― owe me the shmoney (m bison), Thursday, 25 September 2014 03:57 (eleven years ago)

You need a hammer and nails to attach the backboard in several of their shelf models (including the ubiquitous CD tower).

― Tuomas, Thursday, 25 September 2014 08:38 (eleven years ago)

Republicans give one percent of a shit.

― Barry Gordy (Neil S), Thursday, 25 September 2014 11:31 (eleven years ago)

if liberals stopped pissing and shitting on my constitution then maybe republicans wouldn't need to be so mean. that's my 2 cents anyhoo

― i got BIG HOOS in different area codes aka the steemdriver (missingNO), Thursday, 25 September 2014 11:57 (eleven years ago)

Maybe take your copy of the Constitution out of the toilet?

How do we sign an actual republican to ILX? Seems like it'd be fun.

― DISMISSED AS CHANCE (NotEnough), Thursday, 25 September 2014 14:06 (eleven years ago)

There have been a number if Republicans here, usually of the moderate or libertarian variety. I don't think "Republican" is a synonym for "idiot monster to be ridiculed".

They shop at Trader Joe's....but not Whole Foods.....or that loser place down the road with the crazy hippies running it.

Do Republicans live in cities?

turns out republicans are white people too after all

― lag∞n, Tuesday, 30 September 2014 00:31 (eleven years ago)

so the ultimate ilx non-republican is a tattooed Asian kindergarten teacher who separates her Sunday Styles sections and cat food cans into separate containers, helps donate to her daughter's fun runs, and welds on the weekends

― the other song about butts in the top 5 (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 05:08 (eleven years ago)

oh wait, it's not that she's a mother it's that she's a daughter
so i guess she's raised by two dads in this scenario and she did the ALS ice bucket challenge

― the other song about butts in the top 5 (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 05:09 (eleven years ago)

Are white was always going to take it, but a surprisingly low plurality at just under 30%

― intelligent, expressive males within the greater metropolitan (Bananaman Begins), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 08:41 (eleven years ago)

Which suggests if there had been another outstanding candidate to rally around, things could have been different. "Republicans are greedy", or "Republicans are cruel", for instance.

― intelligent, expressive males within the greater metropolitan (Bananaman Begins), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 08:43 (eleven years ago)

That's not really a joke is it? Just me saying I hate republicans. Ah well.

You've met some secret Republicans, nakh

― 💪😈⚠️ (DJP), Tuesday, 30 September 2014 13:30 (eleven years ago)

Almost as bad as a Republican is a self-described 'centrist' who believes there's too much hysteria over sea level rise and thinks 'both sides are bad.'

The Republican Party might as well be assembled by stock photos.
