The Republican Convention Thread

Both parties suck. The Dems have fallen so far from the heights of the New Deal..... the GOP’s 150 year decline from the party of Thad Stevens and Fredrick Douglass to a gilded carnival tent of third rate hucksters too vile for a Ralph Steadman caricature. One looks wistfully at the Republican party under Ike--- who deserves credit for being the last Republican leader who managed to hold off the unhinged John Birch wing of the GOP----the last President of either party to buck the Military-Industrial Complex and live to tell about it. Although also put the Dulles brothers in charge of the CIA --iniated several coups, gave Nixon his big break, so bit of a mixed bag there, and allowed the MIC to grow on his watch despite all the warnings

The RNC in miniature tonight: Most Americans do like freedom. Repeat that you like freedom. Most Americans like god. Repeat that you like god. Most Americans don't like riots. Make it clear that you dont like riots. Rinse repeat rinse repeat ... If you really watch it --uncritically --it truly sounds incoherent and bizarre, BUT somebody hearing soundbites in their spare time will now have in their head that these are the people that agree with them.

Making fun of Republicans isn't fun anymore. They're just on another level of crazy now.
It is all one big tragicomedy.
