It's Not Just Trump's GOP Now

It's also David Duke's. 

Let that register for a moment.

Have a good weekend.  

Looks Like MAGAstock's Going To Be A Dud

But corporate media will still frame it in the best possible light for these losers. 

Sad. 

They're Insane

Good that Greg Sargent says so, but this should be the default position of the rest of the media as well. 

The GOP should be considered an insane death cult until they demonstrate otherwise...

What's The Downside For Humoring Him?

Oh, I don't know, other than a riot in the Capitol, a pandemic raging out of control because people refuse to get vaccinated out of sheer spite, a political party that screeches fraud even before ballots are counted, and a very real chance that very much not-perfect-but-at-least-facade of representative democracy could get snuffed out because a low-rent scam artist made for click bait that was too easy to pass up (oh, and "her emails").

I could go on, but it's just so goddamn tiring.

The Politics Of Bullying

They'd have to raise it several levels to get to something like sadism, but I don't think it's a stretch to call it abuse

"Every time Jen Psaki opens her mouth or Dr. Fauci opens his mouth" [Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas] said, "10,000 more people say I'm never going to take the vaccine." 

See what you made them do? 

It'd be one thing if they were only hurting themselves, but they're deliberately going out of their way to wreck civil society, which they will blame on Democrats/Biden, and which they assume will be amplified by a media too timid to fucking call them out on this and other rot/nonsense like claiming election fraud before the election's even held. Reporting it as The Big Lie, but then moving on to traffic or sports is a disservice. 

It's enabling. 

And it's not going to end well if it's not stopped. Hell, it might not end well if it is stopped. 

But her emails...
