Bought into the unskewed polls bullshit. Told the press he didn’t have a concession speech prepared. Put up a President-Elect webpage before the results were in. None of them saw it coming.

I mean, weigh all that together and then consider the effect such systematic rejection of reality would have had on policy decisions had Romney somehow won. People who voted for Romney weren’t just condoning his or his party’s naked bigotry or the man’s near total lack of personal integrity, they were supporting an epically delusional fool in his quest for ultimate power.

Yeah, I really want a guy like that weighing all the consequences on bombing Iran and deciding where the red line is.

So fucked up. Future historians, if there are any, will look back horrified that things were at all this close. That at such a technologically advanced stage in human development almost half the population of the most powerful nation on Earth could choose such an utterly ridiculous, untrustworthy, bigoted and willfully ignorant buffoon to be their leader.
