LGBT News Anti-Gay Activist Wins Election by Pretending to Be Black

I just.... okaaaaay.
Did no one voting for this person like... Google him or something?

 

"Every time a politician talks, he's out there deceiving voters," he says.

Seriously?! This is pretty much the most offensive thing ever. To pretty much everyone.
-Blacks
-Whites
-LGBTQ
-Christians
-Everyone who voted for him

 

In some ways, Wilson seems to be quite the cur, yet in another way, he highlights the flaws of democracy, being how easy it is to manipulate a rather stupid populace -- many of us choose our politician based merely on party, race, ideals, or sex... makes one wonder as to the fate of the future...

 

i remember seeing a thread or post or article how democracy only works if the people are informed, if not educated. >_<

and I am in Houston and I did not know this!

 

Which is one of the reasons, in addition to elitism and prejudice, America originally had stricter voting requirements among other things. I say everyone should have to take a current events and history test before voting! (of course, I realize that's awfully simplistic)

 

Voting tests are explicitly unconstitutional.

 

And even if they weren't, then who would have the right to create and administer these tests? Ugh, government is one of man's least efficient machines at present.

 

I will probably fail that test lol. are we talking about national current events and history, or with some world culture and world history too? LOL

sometimes I wonder if education system is fucked up on purpose while there's bazillion shiny distractions like video games, celebrities, entertainments, xD

 

Very underhanded.

Why do so many scary stories come from Texas? What makes it so weirdly conservative/intolerant?

 

This is Texas. Black, Mexican, White or otherwise a anti-gay candidate still will have the edge over a pro-gay candidate.

 

The heat, maybe? Too much time spent in the saddle chasing cows?

 

I blame those crazy Texan squirrels.

 

This is hilarious.

 

Is this for real?

 

People can't be this stupid. There has to be more to the story. First, this is not a big political position, correct? So, honestly, maybe no one cared? In my town, which is very small, I think that I typically know about 3 of the people running, and everyone else is a guessing game. I know this is not a small town thing here, but maybe they had other things to worry about.

 

You'd have thought someone would have cried foul when he was out doing campaigning.

 

...Just in case anyone was wondering how much attention the average person in the U.S. pays to those they are voting for. On the topic of his tactics, while the were a bit misleading, it is not necessarily his responsibility to ensure that those voting for him are informed as to what type of person he is. I don't trust most anything any politician says for reasons life this.
