re: #264 Expand Your Ground

I wish that were true. But by remaining silent, the “sane people” allow the crazies to run the show.

Let’s be honest, even the sane people still in the GOP are floating in a sea of cognitive dissonance and abject selfism. They’re want to run the government like a business, that they’ll never allow to grow, that never increases it’s revenue and that they clearly hate. They care about fetuses intensely but not at all about poor families struggling with childcare, healthcare, and who need supplementary food aid. They care about tax cuts for “job creators” but don’t do anything to create jobs because unemployment is a number used to beat up the opposition. They consider defense spending sacrosanct but advance offensive foreign policies. They’re afraid of the government abrogating their rights while advocating torture.

The GOP is at this point a psychological repository for people’s worst drives and dysfunctional inability to adapt to a changing society. The ideologies it champions are almost universally revanchist, atavistic, reactionary and stupid.
