no. just. no.

So the youth section of our main conservative party released a campaign material called "We have a drea(M)." This is. I don't even. Besides the fact that this particular party didn't exactly support the Civil Rights Movement in the US OR the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, the sheer gall of using something like MLK's words for a slogan for a political party (who are not known for their diversity--in fact, every kind of inequality has been worsened during their reign, woot) is just. Jesus fucking CHRIST.

This, by the way, is coming on the heels of the mother party's new idea program, in which they assert that their ideas built Sweden, when they have voted against every single goddamn social reform that we are famous for, including public health care, Social Security, daycare, 40-hour work weeks, and--you know, I could go on. They did eventually vote for women getting to vote, but only because they were cornered into it. Said idea program also states that they have fought for justice all along, especially sexual, racial and gender equality, when--well. *beats head against wall*

I mean, the bright spot in it all is the twitter hashtag #stuffmoderaternadid where people make fun of them for claiming to have fought for social justice by making up other things the party obviously did, including inventing the internet, punk rock, and authoring the Bible.

But in general I'm just so fucking furious I don't even know what to do. "We have a drea(M)?" I cannot even.
