This is not a joke. The T-shirts Say mo-ron on the front
Click the link above, to see the GOP fundraising page. I had to replace the original image I selected from the DK image library, because of complaints about mysogynistic language, the “b” word.
If you buy one of these T-Shirts you have the opportunity to check the box allowing you to make a monthly contribution to House Republicans. It’s a way to fight the Radical Socialist Left! And in public you can wear the shirt to proclaim you’re identity as a mo-ron.
Because of course this is the way to own the libs! Nancy Pelosi will be rendered speechless if you walk around with a red T Shirt saying mo-ron on front. She obviously did not think this out very well when She Called House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy a moron last month.
Really this reminds me so much of the nativist Know Nothing Party from mid 19th century USA. Anti-Catholic and anti-Immigrant, it was originally started as a secret society, and the members were all known to respond with the phrase “I know nothing”, if asked any questions as to the nature of their organization. But of course the 19th century was filled with witty and sarcastic critics of this sort of thing, so the members were quickly labelled as Know-Nothings.
Technically the group was known at the time as “the American Party”. But history has dubbed them the Know-Nothings. A perfect example of unintended messaging to presage the new Republican mo-ron(ic) messaging.
