re: #153 Shiplord Kirel

Certainly. Bush was a big enough asshole, but the right has gotten drastically worse since he left office in 2009. Look at the fascist gang blocking roads and defying the authorities in Nevada. Then imagine their party in power again. (And it is their party, since radio liars and right-wing politicians everywhere have been falling over themselves in their rush to support the Bundy insurrection.)

The bolded, a thousand times over.

The GOP is possibly damaged beyond repair at this point. It still pains me to some fairly intelligent people here still maintain affiliation with them, often with the attitude of “Gosh, I wish I could do something about it.”

You can. Stop supporting a political party that is becoming a fucking incubator for right wing terrorism. And let’s be blunt: the situation in Bunkerville, NV has been encouraged by the Republican Party, mainly through the Tea Baggers that run the show.

If you can live with that, you really need reexamine your political ideologies.
