“Thunder on! Stride on! Democracy. Strike with vengeful strokes.”

“For a man is not an asshole, until his fellow man titles him so.”

Since the beginning of time, man has struggled to play a meaningful role in shaping the world around him; to have his voice heard and be an active participant in the political process. From a suppressed member of a proletariat fighting a ruthless dictator, to a brave suffragette advocating for her right to vote, to a Floridian Democrat trying to figure out how to correctly punch a ballot, citizens throughout history continue to fight.
But regardless of the political tenor or structure of the day, man has consistently held one inherent and unshakable right—the right to call someone else an asshole.
It is now time to exercise that right.
