Unsightly
I've no particular fondness for democracy. The people who vote
Have proven, time after time and place after place, to be poorly
Informed and truly quite stupid, choosing leaders who only betray
Them. How could a dictator be any worse? I doubt that one would,
So the rise of our strong man, politically speaking, means little
To me. My distaste for him is completely esthetic. He is, above all,
An unsightly buffoon, who boasts like a child, and treats people
Poorly. He's made me embarrassed to live in this country. I really
Don't care how we get his replacement. Ballots or coups would
Suit me the same. Just end my revulsion. Please do it quickly.
His image is hurting my eyes.
