*facepalm*

No, seriously *facepalm* here, guys. Because... in the state of Virgina, the Republicans have decided to make a loyalty oath part of their primary I am so not kidding. People voting in the primary will have to sign a form indicating that they will vote for the Republican candidate in November, no matter who wins the primary! I mean! Guys! WHAT THE FUCK. I don't care that it's non-binding -- it is so fucking ridiculous that there are no WORDS.

Maybe they hope that it'll either a) drive moderates away from the primary, because they'll not want to sign it even if it's non-binding or b) make people feel obligated or c) make people think it's a legal oath, not a ... weird Republican party one?

Whichever answer it is? The world sucks.
