    As bad as things are, it’s cathartic to watch the old guard, bourbon sipping Republican party that originally weaponized misinformation to further the agenda of big corpo (faux news since they existed: “Herp derp climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books”) realize that though their long in motion coup worked, they lost control of it in 2015 when King confidence scheme scam artist stole their grift out from under them by saying the dogwhistles they used to string their racist base along out loud with a dumb little dance.

    Its not helpful, but knowing Mitch McConnell and John Roberts know they sold out their entire society’s future not even for their benefit or the benefit of the right small room of classy old money bigots, but for some crass asshole that’s as belligerent and willfully ignorant as their sucker voting base to take the reigns of post democracy machiavelian power they so carefully curated since the 70s as they watch powerlessly, and IN FEAR no less?

      If only someone knew that pandering to stupid people would result in something stupid. 🙄

        If only someone knew that pandering to vile, evil, monstrous racists would result in something stupid. 🙄

        The southern strategy reaches its crescendo.

      Holy shit that was well worded, hits on all cylinders, and doesn’t waste words with fluff.
