We knew from the very beginning that this year’s Republican National Convention was going to be a three-ring circus of epic proportions. How could the coronation of egotistical reality host and casino villain Donald Trump go any other way? Of course, even though we all foresaw absolute depravity and idiocy, the RNC has undershot our already incredibly low expectations in the most fantastic ways possible. Here are some tweets that will make you happy that you are anywhere but Cleveland.

Outside the convention things weren’t much better. These guys were protesting Trump. They think he should be MORE racist.

I’m not even sure if I’m supposed to be offended by this, but I’m going to go ahead and be offended by it anyway.
The weirdest people at the RNC so far are this guitarist and his singing Trump man-dog https://t.co/6xn8LXpRiy pic.twitter.com/VKvb0FLnXT

This guy took the bold stance that getting hit in the face with a brick and being whipped with a belt are bad.

It bears mentioning that there are no guns allowed inside the convention, where all the people who passed the open carry laws are hanging out.

Despite all of this, there was a fun zone, but honestly, that doesn’t look very fun either.

We made liberals blind-taste test Trump’s wine, and the results were hilarious. Watch below.
