THOMPSON ON POLITICAL HYPOCRITES AND MONSTERS
“Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands [i.e.: Vietnam, the Iraq War, COVID-19, systemic racism, and police brutality]? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush [and the Donald]? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks [and Black Lives Matter silenced, and wanted Colin Kaepernick jailed, or better yet: killed!]. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us—they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them.”
— Hunter S. Thompson
