Most profound thing I heard all day.

I read this earlier. 
"Love is an African-American Republican."
It blew my mind. What a  philosophical treatise on the nature of love. 'Cause, if you think about, love really is like an African-American Republican. A marginalized entity in a system that doesn't accept you, yet you stay with it out of sheer hope or naivete. I mean - I'm not a deep person, but this...this strikes a cord with me.  So much so that I didn't even care when I realized I took it entirely out of context:  
9. Mia Love, the GOP's shining hope for inclusion and a key speaker at the GOP convention, lost her bid to defeat Rep. Jim Matheson (D-Utah). Love is an African-American Republican.  Source.
