PHILADELPHIA, PA — While historic moments were being made inside the Wells Fargo Center, some legitimately terrifying and hilarious stuff was happening outside — mostly involving sweating, screaming, and alpacas.

Some of the most passionate people at this year's DNC are the protestors who've traveled from all over the country — and the world — to let their voices be heard. It's important, necessary, and (as many protestors noted) is "what democracy looks like."

HOWEVER, steady 90+ degree weather and "political fervor" have led to pretty inexplicable moments in the last few days. Don't believe me? I've got pictures to prove it:

"She doesn't like government involving corporations," her human told me. "She's not fond of corporate America."

2

This pre-dick-tably epic response to homophobic protestors.

This hastily scribbled penis of justice was a powerful blow to the angry gaggle of bigots gathered outside the DNC.

He was quickly joined by this guy pretending to have an exorcism, because sure.

That's one way to protest.

4

People carried around this giant, inflatable joint that said "Berned by the DNC."

I thought this was an extreme-heat-induced mirage, but nope. Totally real.

I'm not sure what to call this look, actually.

Not really a moment, but I'm still including a "prolonged anguish from sweating profusely" photo for the record.

It's Always Sweaty in Philadelphia.
