We’ve known for years now that the right is nothing short of deplorable and disgusting — Hell, Hillary Clinton was trying to warn us all of that back in 2016, and Donald Trump’s presidency has done nothing but highlight it in the worst sort of ways, just like she said it would. However, sometimes I still find myself expecting at least the most basic level of human decency out of these people. I mean, they are human beings. There has to be some sort of low that they won’t sink to, right?
Wrong.
I have learned the hard way that these people aren’t human beings, not truly. They don’t have the compassion, understanding, and most basic levels of human decency that you’d expect from a fellow human — regardless of race, or political affiliation, or social status. These people truly are the lowest of the low in every conceivable way, and nothing has showcased just exactly what I’m talking about more than their most recent meme to float around social media.
The Twitter account Parler Takes, which grabs screenshots from the right-wing social media platform in an effort to keep us all up to date on what’s going on over there without actually having to be a member, recently posted a meme that’s been going around on the GOP’s safe space that attempts to draw a sickening comparison between outgoing First Lady Melania Trump and her predecessor Michelle Obama while also taking a clear and disgusting dig at the LGBTQ+ community. And to say that it turns my stomach would be a massive understatement.

We’ve seen a lot of nasty, awful stuff from these sorry excuses for human beings over the years, but it’s quite possible that this one takes the cake. These people literally don’t even try to hide their racism anymore, and it’s no secret as to why they’re no longer afraid.
All I can say is if they want to start comparing First Ladies, there’s only one that I can find nudes of in two clicks on Google — and it ain’t Michelle Obama.
