Slightly OT (but still “Fuck Trump”-related), but I came across this via FB the other day, and it amuses me very much and I think that you and other political science types would get a kick out of it.

I did not know this about him, although I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, given that he was the guitarist for a band…

Ok you fuckers, I’m gonna rant on you all. You make fun of the state I live in constantly. And even now you whine about the margin. Do you shitheads know how hard it is to take this state away from the rednecks? From the rural crazies?
