re: #95 Obdicut

I don’t think they can keep up ignoring it forever, and I don’t think that they can spin it in any particular way.

They’re mainstreamed, but they’re also splintered.

The next election will tell, really; there’s no way one candidate can deliver to all the diverse maniacs in the GOP right now.

I like your optimism. I wish I could just kind of take it and stick it in my head and replicate it. I think part of my pessimism recently stems from having recently moved to Florida. The amount of right-wing stupid here eclipses anything I have ever seen before. Now, if places like Texas are even worse, that’s frightening to me.

I just have to keep reminding myself that its at least partly regional. Here’s hoping the right fractures into a million squabbling little factions. They are partway there, to be sure, but not completely. Now, if Fox tumbles due to family infighting at the same time the right needs them to most to hold things together in crazyland, I see great possibilities.

Now all we need is a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion, and humanity’s problems are solved! (Ok, maybe not all of them, but man would that be awesome.)
