I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.

Oh, look, this image has politics AND is trying to be nice to Hot Rod but really showing what a reckless idiot he is. My favorite kind! It's smart, and it lets me take a shot at Hot Rod.
"When all are one? Like that's ever gone happen." Sound a little like our political system anyone?
And yes, of course Hot Rod is playing with you. Because you're shooting at him, and that's the kind of moron who doesn't take cause and effect or danger into consideration when doing something. But, yeah, sure, recruit him. He sounds like just the kind of dude you want watching your back. /sarcasm
