A bit of election day tumblr humor

I'm having trouble concentrating on work today, so I've been poking at tumblr. This made me snicker out loud:



Does anyone else see the irony in the elephant being the symbol of the Republican Party?

Elephants live in matriarchal groups where males are excluded except to breed. They’re herbivores and are known to be highly empathetic to other elephants as well as their dead; if one elephant in the group is in trouble, all the other elephants will pitch in to help it out. They also practice collective raising of the young, with young elephants being tended to by all members of the herd.

You guys, elephants are socialist vegan feminists who support public education.

It’s also worth mentioning that most elephants are bisexual.

Edit: Bonus, from disciple-of-delia:

If Romney gets elected can we just submit gay porn to him until he gives up?

And now we shall never have to speak of that horrible person again

I'd like to write something meaningful and deep. Something like a letter to the Republicans, reminding them that us white folks are not the majority anymore and they might want to think about halting the attack on non-whites, but know what? My words are gone. My brain feels like mush. I feel exhausted. Relief.

I know this is a useless hope, but please, Republicans, please try to nominate someone less horrible next time. I can handle losing, really I can, but only if the guy on the other side isn't a scary, horrible, abusing, bully, nonstop lying... Oh look, I found my words. :P

I'm looking forward to going back to my normal posts. I bet most of you are, too! Thanks for sticking with me through all my political flailings lately. I was honestly very, very scared about all this.
