Driftglass on the sad theater that is our crap punditry:
The GOP runs on a very simple electoral strategy:
1. Tell the Pig People they can have their stupid and eat it too.
2. Ruin the nation, run up insurmountable debt, seed every institution with incompetents and looters, all while cowering behind the Flag, the Bible and the troops.
3. When it all goes South, double down on the lies and the stupid, and boldly blame Bill Clinton’s Penis and the dirty fucking hippies.
Election after election, this gets them to 45%. Then, a little election fraud, a shitload of slander, and hauling Bin Laden out of the terrorist toy box gets them a slim majority of the perpetually and dismally “Hmmm. Should I give my kids battery acid? Or apple juice? What does ‘Us’ magazine say?” undecided and uninformed.
Word.
