re: #183 KGxvi

I think there’s always a part of the Democratic base that is looking to stir shit up. It’s Bernie Bros now, but in 2008 it was the PUMAs (Party Unity My Ass). In 2004, I feel like there was a minor version of this for Dean supporters (but I don’t think it was very pronounced, and died once it was made public he was going to Chair the DNC).

As Tweety is fond of saying: Democrats want to fall in love, Republicans fall in line.

Yeah, I know, but the stakes were obviously pretty fucking dire in 2016 and they still pulled the pin.

Now, with over 2.5 years of watching Republicans basically ignore rule of law and the Constitution, they’re getting ready to do it again. Fuck these people.

The whole thing is just discouraging. The woman across the street from me, who has a daughter, heard the Hollywood Access clip and still voted for Trump. Contractor up the street voted for the guy who made his money by fucking over contractors, mostly because he didn’t think a woman could be President.

Then, on top of that, add in the upcoming Russian interference (that the GOP won’t stop because it helps them) and the fucking idiot Bernie Bros.

I’m counting on a lot of people who are too stupid and lazy to make an adult, informed opinion at the ballot box next year. Not holding my breath here.

PS: fuck Chris Matthews. Every time someone mentions Reagan, he’s one click away on Expedia from flying to Ronnie’s gravesite and blowing his corpse. Matthews is a loudmouth jackass who fucked over Democrats twice in the 80’s, but everyone thinks he’s a genius because he can’t speak below 100dB.
