Dear People in a Certain Facebook Group,
Thank you for bringing me joy during the Coronapocalypse. I am not a fan of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. It’s not his politics as much as it is that I think he might be a beer short of a six pack. He’s also shady as hell. (My blog = my opinion; you disagree = stop reading, or we can have a rational debate.)
I’m also not a fan of our president. He was fine on “Celebrity Apprentice.” He’s not fine as leader of the United States. It’s like a pervy drunk uncle is running the country. (Spoiler: I didn’t vote for him. You know, because of silly reasons, really: racism, misogyny, narcissism, etc.)
So imagine my surprise and GLEE when my two dislikes collided on this page, thanks to a new member. In his first HOUR of joining, he made his first post.
I HOWLED. And as I started scrolling through the comments, I started doing that smoker’s laugh I do when I’m really amused. That led to cry-laughing.
Yes, it is completely disrespectful (not like the target of these names has any respect for the office, but I get it).
Yes, I know that I objected when people on the right did this to Obama (seriously: no better name than “Obummer?”).
Yes, we should all behave more like responsible adults.
But DAMN if this isn’t funny to me.
So thank you for your existence.
Yours in shared contempt,
Beth
