re: #71 Killgore Trout

Because their locked into a version of “conservatism” that doesn’t work. They’re never going to get Roe v Wade overturned, creationism is never going to be taught in public schools, “family values” candidates are going to keep getting busted having gay sex, their concept of “smaller government” is a fantasy, etc. Contraception, sex education and abortion is going to remain legal. There’s never going to be a Constitutional ban on gay marriage. Etc…
They’re getting near the end of their rope and it scares the hell out of them.

I guess, but all that happened on Bush’s watch too, and they seemed OK. I guess they had the wars to be emotionally invested in, but those are continuing. I realize I don’t get it.
