So called "sideshow freaks" were typically disabled people or simply people who appeared different enough from the local paying public. Dark skin, differently shaped eyes, women with excess facial or body hair, people whose limbs and bodies that didn't develop in the typical fashion in utero. Being mocked and ridiculed was often the only job they could get in a society that did not yet have social safety nets and viewed anyone sufficiently different as "touched by sin" merely by existing.

Unlike Republicans, sideshow performers committed no ethical or moral failings by being born into this world and attempting to survive. Republicans on the other hand choose to be who they are, every morning when they get up, and don't care who they harm with their greed.
