Old School. Biblically Independent.

Somehow Donald Trump is trolling his way through his candidacy for president, calling Mexicans rapists, suggesting black lives don't matter, and recommending all Muslim Americans be recorded in a national database. That is some depressing, fucked up shit, and even more infuriating he's ahead in the polls.
But before you employ a Futurama GIF and lament that humanity is going to hell in a hand basket, check out the response Twitter has had to Trump's latest racist outburst.
Hey @realDonaldTrump, I'm an American Muslim and I already carry a special ID badge. Where's yours?

H/T Pajiban kilmo and Uproxx
Kristy Puchko isn't watching that video about "we have flowers" over and over and weeping into her Cheerios big fat happy tears. Totally not.
