And heres the full text:
Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoulall spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair.
Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isnt but has always beenarrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel.
It is Americas shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesnt just lose its soulit shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.
Needless to say, Olivers words have struck a chord.
