(23,673 posts)5. I support this statement 100%. Very well stated. But who is Patrick McCarty?
I'm guessing he is the author of this statement. Is he someone notable? And by including Boris, Brexit & Leavers he is applying the same sentiment to them as well? Yes? Thanks not urgent, just wondering.
BRITISH
a person in favor of the United Kingdom withdrawing from the European Union.
noun: Leaver; plural noun: Leavers

I added the bit about Boris and Brexit cause I believe our two situations are rather close together...

https://thedailybanter.com/2018/10/09/republican-voters-are-trash/
You're trash. You've always been trash. When liberals were polite, you were trash. When liberals got a little rude, you were still trash. Now that we're tired of your shit and treating you like the trash you are, you're mortally offended and blaming us for being trash? Get the fuck out of here.
You laugh at sexual assault victims. You cheer Latino children being tortured. You get off on police murdering unarmed black men. You mock the disabled. You send death threats to high school students opposed to guns. You call for the murder of homosexuals. You. Are. Trash.
I know it's hard to look in the mirror and realize that you're the worst that humanity has to offer but you made that choice. No one forced you to be a garbage person. You did that. You. You can stop any time you want, too. But you won't because deep down inside, you like being trash. Own it. That's why you love Trump so much. He told you that being trash is OK and you thought you could come out of the shadows and walk tall as a garbage person.
