Eighty-five percent (or thereabouts) of white America is stone cold racist and dearly wishes that African Americans, Hispanics, and now Muslims, would simply leave this country. Feeling as they do, these people will vote for whatever party openly espouses the same sentiment, whether or not that party rebuilds the infrastructure, creates jobs, provides low cost health insurance, or kills terrorists. None of this matters. What matters is, get this country back to what it was once was -- and if it was never that way, get it back to the way it should be. This same racist sentiment is at the root of the pro-life movement which wishes to both protect and promote white life, hence their opposition to contraception, their celebration of the stay-at-home, baby-making mother vs. the working mom, and their indifference to America bombing foreigners.<br /><br />Given that the GOP has exhibited no desire to revise its racist appeal, nor modify its support of the one percent and the hell with everybody else, and they seem to have achieved a permanent majority, what with gerrymandering, voter suppression, and solidifying their appeal to states with more cows and buffalo than people, we are stuck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981075542313728717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-32290557482794091642017-05-02T11:00:39.604-05:002017-05-02T11:00:39.604-05:00No one has ever stepped forward to explain how thi...No one has ever stepped forward to explain how this could be.<br /><br />And they got away with it because our corporate media let them get away with it. <br /><br />what to add to that? <br /><br />The memory hole is not only wide, and deep, the memory hole is permanent. Both Sides is so engrained in the public consciousness that it'll take a catastrophe to upset that view, and probably not even then. Maybe at some point in the future they will reevaluate what happened in the early 21st century in America, but it'll probably be in the investigation of 'how did a country fuck up so badly?' They won't believe it. I can't believe it, every single day, going on twenty years. 1999 was eighteen years ago. What makes liberals think that being right has fuck-all to do with writing history? <br /><br />The W Bush administration has disappeared, the Obama administration is twisted and misconstrued, and Trump can apparently disgrace himself and the country in every single thing he does daily, in a presidency that he obtained in part through Russian propaganda (the other part being Clinton being slandered in the media for a generation to make it close, in the first place), treason which his entire administration including the vice president, attorney general, national security advisor took part in, and that's all Okay.<br /><br />..and Chuck Todd wonders why Democrats can't work with Republicans, like Republicans so desperately wished to work with that mean ole' Obama..<br /><br />proverbialleadballoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11592049897382920314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-89402665178283193192017-05-02T10:24:14.855-05:002017-05-02T10:24:14.855-05:00I still think it is worth noting that, since Trump...I still think it is worth noting that, since Trump's election, conservative media has had to send gorgon after gorgon over the top to pick fights with college students so they can plaster another layer of bullshit over the fever dream Liberal straw man they go on about every fucking day, all day so the Pig People will continue to electorally cut their own throats. <br /><br />Like this morning when my "non-partisan" morning news provided context free reporting on all the May Day "riots." trgahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718897286384990852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-22207409995581668482017-05-02T05:02:16.783-05:002017-05-02T05:02:16.783-05:00I heard a walking-brain-dead Trumpster say "t...I heard a walking-brain-dead Trumpster say "there was no racism in Amurrica until Obama was elected President..."<br />Also, would it be gossipy of me to wonder who 'Bloody Bill Kristol's creepy son-in-law' is?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-42307610978994130432017-05-01T21:37:57.668-05:002017-05-01T21:37:57.668-05:00Good stuff, Driftglass and it is the case the MSM ...Good stuff, Driftglass and it is the case the MSM has been a consistent fail over many years because of the horse race ratings and utter bullshit.
