re: #249 Amory Blaine

From the drive time DJs to the water cooler at work, the consesus I hear is that Ford is a liar and the dems lost.

Because of course.

The reality is that the country is infinitely more racist and more sexist than we want to admit. That we really are a fucking hopeless country and that the pathologies are simply coming out all the more because the GOP keeps proving that there’s no actual penalty for it. That the American psyche, in fact, revels in this cruelty and that they will never, ever pay for it. That believing in the better angels of our fellow Americans is a fucking fools errand.
