I honestly thought this was a joke the first time I saw it.
I just thought I'd put it up because it's so fucking terrifying. The fact that he thinks this could win him the election just shows you how many people out there are on his side. When I looked at it, this had about 16 thousand likes on youtube.
Unless 16 thousand hipsters decided to like it ironically (which I doubt - the video has become far too mainstream), that means there are at least 16 thousand people with internet access who agree.
That means there are far more who agree and who don't have access to the internet.
The fact that this guy could actually get elected is the most terrifying thing I've ever had to process. His campaign video is effectively a hate message about gays. I don't feel that I'm blowing this out of proportion. People all over are flagging it on youtube as a hate speech about the gay community, and while he may not go into detail, it's the same message he's putting across.
He's essentially pushing America back a century.
What I don't understand is how somebody can deliver a message like that in his campaign video and still be allowed to participate in the election.
It's times like these where I am proud to be a Canadian citizen.
(Because this blog is supposed to be about things that amuse me on the internet, I'd just like to point out to you something that a friend pointed out to me:
A still from Brokeback Mountain.
Wait...
... I just want to give a warm round of applause to Rick Perry's campaign video Props Department.
