Here, the GOP appeals to lady voters at a level we can understand - wedding dresses. They finally get me. This is not to say that I don't thoroughly love the show parodied here. Just that I don't relate to politics and issues that affect my life through a lens of reality television. Assuming so is pretty insulting.
Then there's this video. Which, I can testify as a millennial, is awesome. And went almost immediately viral. And not in the, OMG look at what ridiculously embarrassing/offensive thing Rick Perry just said kind of viral.
The comments on the video are, not unexpectedly, pretty racist, classist, sexist, and generally every other kind of hateful "ist" you can think of. I mean, it's the internet comments, people. I guess human rights kind of freak some people out.
So what are we to think then? Are we really moving forward? As Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. I can only hope that my generation's hands and hearts will keep on bending it. And in the meantime, there are these videos to make you groan/smile. Oh yea, and don't forget to vote!
