The next Mark Fiore?

25 October 2005 by Sean

Okay, Dena sent this to me and I have to say I am impressed. This is some serious Flash work, and really involved politics… Almost too much for one sitting.

I love the fact that it says “voting against your own interests.”

This is a truly tragic issue that moves me deeply. I grew up with some struggles and I care for people who are poor and disenfranchised in a deep and personal way. These people have had their (mostly white and rural) poor-person rage tapped into by wealthy and truly nasty opportunists like Rush Motherfuckin’ Limbaugh and Ann Fatherfuckin’ Coulter, and these opportunists are profiting off it enormously — taking these people’s morals to the cleaners.

Meanwhile, their savage racism has alienated a huge percentage of this country who have at times all but checked out of the debate because of being beaten down for so long. I am happy to start seeing some young people of color jump back in with fists raised.

Wake up white, rural America. It is all a big fat lie. You have been had.
