As the 2020 election fast approaches, I fear history will unfortunately repeat itself. Yes, sex sells and there is no place this is more apparent than in America. But in 2016 we selected our President almost solely on sex appeal and look how that turned out. We need to try something new.
I’m not blaming anyone. I understand our want to stare at pretty people. It’s why our movie stars are beautiful, our pop stars are gorgeous, and our current president is downright sexy. But when it comes to politics, I’m starting to have doubts that this is the best method. I mean, it is possible that there are more important qualifications for being President than dripping sex appeal.
Ever since the first televised debate with John F. Kennedy, America has been ignoring all meaningful talking points and just electing sex machine after sex machine.
Listen, I’m as guilty of this as anyone. I couldn’t wait to turn 18 and elect a president I wanted to have sex with. That’s the American dream. Or at least a specific dream I’ve had many times.
When I saw the current President grace the stage, with his face looking like a throwback Cleveland Brown’s jersey, I was drooling like the rest of you.
Now in hindsight, I’ve started to realize that sexiness is probably only a top five requirement of the job and there may be a few things that should take priority. So in 2020, please vote for a candidate that is more than just a sexy face. Vote for a candidate with a fat ass.
