Several years ago, back when the term “disposable income” meant actual money instead of just a fond dream, I donated some money to a far-off congressman’s reelection campaign fund.
Mistake.
Now I’m still on the Republican National Committee’s sucker donor list, and not a day goes past when I don’t get some plea for money to help some or other hapless Republican congressman, and even to donate to billionaire Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection fund. Here’s my appeal to the RNC:
For fuck’s sake, can you bastards quit begging for money? Considering that I and probably millions of other Americans haven’t been able to work for nearly two months and have had zero income since then, it is the height of stupidity [ergo, the Stupid Party] to ask us to donate towards an election which isn’t due for over six months.
Frankly, when it’s hard to think how we’re going to be able to pay the rent or mortgage, car loans and utilities, health insurance and even groceries, what the fuck makes you think that we would be able to give you money? Even worse, we all know that after the election is over, the elected politician is just going to pocket the unspent cash from the campaign fund, one way or the other, while we’ll still be mired in debt.
Kindly piss off and leave us alone, at least until we can get back to work.
Yours very sincerely,
