I can think of very few things that make me uncomfortable

I tried watching Michelle Bachmann on Hardball. Her "Anti-American" ramblings and such.

And in all honesty, what I came to realize as I tried to watch it was that I could not listen to what she was saying without getting angry to a point that I'm just flat out not comfortable with. It's so far beyond legitimacy that it's just absolutely unreasonable. I do not like being this angry. It's beyond anything I even know how to deal with.

Like, on the one hand, it's almost laughably absurd. On the other hand, it's honestly fucking happening. And just trying to wrap my head around the fact that not only do people like her exist, but they exist in positions where they've been legitimized by the public is beyond what I can bring myself to comprehend.

It hurts me to know that this bullshit is part of the public discourse. Honestly. It borders on being something that I just can't handle at all.
