Damnit if I don't sometimes hate the internet so bad I want to murder it in cold blood and then five minutes later love the internet so hard I'd marry it.

A couple of days ago right-wing conservative Leslie Gibson had some choice things to say about Emma González, one of the Florida teens who didn't die during the massacre at Stoneman Douglas High School.

Leslie has since apologized but too little too late, mister. 

Either way, what happened next might be one of the best things to come out of this whole mess. 

Leslie, who was running unopposed for a house seat in Maine, is no longer. That's right, the internet, in the way only it can, rallied to find a candidate.

Her name is Eryn Gilchrist and she's a 28-year-old Bates College graduate who lives in Greene, ME, and works for a medical device company. She filed her paperwork on Thursday. Eryn says she looks forward “to working hard over the next several months to earn the trust and support of people throughout my community.”

The election isn't until November which means we have lots of time to make sure Eryn wins. 

And it's already begun:

WOMEN UNITE.

DEMS UNITE!

HUMANS UNITE!
