ppl on facebook sarcastically saying “well why don’t we do 40 year background checks on EVERYONE in congress?? there’d be nobody left!1!!”

…..that’s a great idea, let’s do that!!

Yeah, like, if we got rid of all the pedophiles and rapists and racists and replaced them with good people, how does anyone have a problem with it?

I legit had someone unfriend me after they shared that post and I was like yeah, let’s do that!

Seriously though. If you did a forty year background check on me, you’d find lots of immaturity and stupidity, but you wouldn’t find any sexual assaults or attempted rapes because I’m a decent fucking human being.

Like, this is… not a hot take? This is seriously just keeping abusers out of positions of power. How does anyone have a problem with that??!?

People in Congress need to have good, honest intentions for everyone in America.

Being a rapist, pedophile, racist or anything along those lines directly contradicts this.

Background checks would remove unqualified people from Congress.
