Transcription, in case you’re at work or sans headphones in public or something:

Charlottesville, Virginia. Ugly business, man. And all over some participation trophies for our crimes against humanity. I tell you what, I’m glad Dale Earnheart ain’t here to see this shit.

Look with my background I’m not surprised by all this but it makes me sad.
One of the saddest parts to me is I know these guys, they think they’re patriots. You know, fighting for the real America with their swastikas and their confederate flags. Man, I don’t know that there’s any symbol that’s more inherently un-American than the confederate flag. It’s sort of the point of the fuckin’ thing. But there they are in full regalia, exercising their rights as Americans. “We got a right to assemble here! We got a right to protest that statue, fly that flag!” Buddy… [sighs] Yes, you do. BUT screamin’ about your rights as an American while rockin’ the confederate flag is like arguin’ against gay marriage with a dick in your mouth, you dumb fuck! It makes no sense!

But that’s the thing with these assholes, they’re immune to irony! 100% natural immunity to it, don’t affect them at all. Stand there and holler about supremacy while cosplaying as two separate regimes famous for getting the shit beat out of them, supremacy my ass! 

Ultimately, at their core, these people are losers. Losers who fetishize other losers. I know you can look at the coverage and the pictures and the fucking White House and feel like they’re not losing right now, but in the grand scheme they absolutely are. A few decades ago they had Jim Crow and George Wallace. This weekend they could barely find 500 dipshits who could afford a fucking bus ticket. They’ve been losing battle after battle, fight after fight for over 200 years in this country and these are their death throes. We just have to stay the course.

And to my fellow rural Americans out there, I’ve known too many of you over the years, good people, who see some shit like this and turn a blind eye, bite your tongue, because you don’t want to fuck up the potluck, and I get that. But them days are over, y’all. Your silence is your complicity. So whether it’s on Facebook, or face-to-face at the PTA meeting, you’ve gotta letting these assholes know they do not speak for all of us. Cause Trump proved on Saturday, in this, refusing to pick a side is the same thing as picking their side. And trust me, historically, that ain’t a side you wanna be on. Unless you like losing.
