Even 2 years later:
You threw your trash out the window into her front yard and she caught you, got your license plate number and tracked you down. Here she is on your front porch, with your garbage in hand demanding that you clean it up. That you take responsibility for your own mess.
And you're not even ashamed. Are you?
You're not embarrassed. You're not ashamed for getting caught. Because you don't have that much self-awareness, that much self-respect.
Instead, you're mad. This fucking kid. How dare she rub your nose in what a selfish, self-centered son of a bitch you are, right?
That's what you're mad about.

...was an essay he wrote after the 2016 Republican national convention about getting a vasectomy.
I couldn't find the direct link, but I got one where it was quoted in full.
