This is Petty

Our country has deep, intrinsic flaws in its design.

Simply put, while the United States of America is supposed to be our country, it is built on a framework into which most Americans at the time had no input, and while that small group of politically ambitious white male property owners deliberately placed provisions to amend the Constitution in the Constitution itself, their successors have, over many generations, deified the document, effectively barring us in the present from adapting it to fit modern reality. 

But this post isn't about that. 

This post is petty. 

This post is about something that has deeply bothered me for as long as I can remember. Something that feels like knives being driven into my brain each time I see it.

This logo is the work of a psychopath. There is no other reasonable explanation or justification for this egregious assault on sanity. I mean, you see it too, right? 

RIGHT?

LOOK:



WHAT IS GOING ON THERE?!!

The GOP elephant's trunk bottoms out below the level of its feet. 

Has the fragile masculinity of the party's leadership caused the trunk to slowly grow longer over the years?

Or has it always been that way? 

If so WHY?

Did the logo's designer simply not use a straight edge when drafting the outline? 

Or is this jarring, irrational inconsistency deliberate??

Is the elephant attempting to burrow into the ground trunk first?

Is the elephant hoisting its whole body into the air with its trunk? 

Is the elephant wearing invisible shoes? 

Is the elephant standing on the precipice of doom, dangling its trunk over the edge to taunt people below with hollow words of patriotic encouragement?

WHY?? 

WHY???

There's no closing moral to this diatribe, this is just something that has legitimately bothered me for as long as I can remember, and I figure if I'm going to be branded as a seditionist and an enemy of our country, I should make the evidence they'll be presenting in the faux trial more interesting
