The republicans don't care about the country being in a better place.

They want power and money and they don't care how they get their dirty hands on all of it.

...the Frog singing (from an old Muppets movie). Just read some of the YouTube comments (use the "Share" arrow button to see it at YouTube). The YouTube commentariat sound exactly like the alt-right chuds you find on Reddit/4Chan/8Chan or whatever the hell they're on these days. This Randy Bishop asshole sure sounds like he spends a lot of time on the chud websites. Any commercial with POC, gay people, etc. sets them off. "ZOMGBBQ!!1!111!!!!!11!!! IT'S WOKE!!!"

Nobody is saying that a family can't be a White dad, mom and kids. But his statement could be interpreted to me that ONLY a White dad, mom and kids collective is entitled to be labeled as "a family".

And yes, if you believe the concept underlying that statement, then you should feel guilty. . . Not for being White, or having a family based on a heteronormative relationship, but for suggesting that anyone unlike you isn't capable of making up a family.

Oh, and by the way, we're having a Family of Humanity picnic this summer, A-hole. You're still invited 'cause we won't be so hypocritical as to deny your humanity, but nobody will want to sit with you.

He gets caught up in March Madness every year, even though he doesn't follow college sports the rest of the time.

The problem with jerks like Bishop is that they think ALL old white men AND old white women (the only 2 genders they recognize) are just like them or should be.

Randy filed as a DEMOCRAT, even though he is a Republican precinct delegate, and has always been republican before.

This time he filed (D) just to screw with things, and hope his radio followers will vote in the D primary so he can go against the other republicans running in the fall. This is a big R district, but he’s well known enough he could just do it.

I removed the line that specifically said he was running as a Republican. But I think I'm going to keep the title. This guy is a conservative Republican and this is who the Republican Party supports, never mind that he switched to file as a Democrat this year just to be a spoiler. The Democratic Party is not running this candidate.

The state party can’t stop him, although he has two felony convictions and might be ineligible.

Here is what the State Democratic Party says about Randy running as a DEM:

Guilt is an emotion you put on yourself.

Don’t want to feel guilty? Don’t.

PS said before…we don’t want you to die.
If you’re such a baby… just go out in the garden and eat some worms!!!

is that they are afraid to confront their own demons. Any reminder that they may have racist or sexist thoughts cause their shorts to pinch their asses.
They are unwilling to confront their personal issues and want the government to solve their problems

Running in a Democratic primary with views like that is a freaking joke, and according to that Twitter thread, he's just in it for attention and giggles anyway. I'm sure he'll get both. But votes? Dream on, MAGA maggot.
