Impetus: guy who wants to run for governor of Georgia drops campaign video where he’s brandishing a shotgun the whole time, pointing it at a young man who recites his campaign points
See, this is the kind of shit that makes me worry for the future of Georgia. I understand that the whole video was meant to be kind of tongue-in-cheek and definitely produced with a sense of humor intended. But surprising to nobody with brains, it falls flat on face and comes off as some gun-crazy hick basically holding a young man hostage and forcing him to read off his generic promises if he’s elected governor.
Most educated, liberal, and/or just people with brains mostly conclude that this was a tasteless campaign commercial, and for all intents and purposes should not help him win the primary. But the problem is that Georgia is filled with a whole lot of people who do not fit the aforementioned criteria. These are people who will have thought this commercial was funny, this commercial was memorable, or worse off, completely agree with everything about the commercial – and then they’ll act on such sticking power, and actually vote for this shithead.
And that has me very scared for the future of this state, if gun-loving hicks like this actually rise to some prominence.
