I did mean Red. <br />In Canada, our crazies are the Blue ones.<br /><br />What I particularly love about Donald is that he doesn't even pretend that his words have any actual meaning. Rather, as you say, he simply lets her rip and invites like minded folks to stand beside him and make loud communal noises.<br /><br />Of course, that divides the world into "Us" and "Them" and we have long, bitter experience about how *that* inevitably turns out. Still, the emerging dividing lines are not quite the traditional ones and you can see interesting behaviour as some people realize that they are being either painted out (or even painted in).Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-65991677998707547382015-09-15T08:57:07.649-07:002015-09-15T08:57:07.649-07:00"This year, the Blue faction is providing wha...<i>"This year, the Blue faction is providing what the people demand"</i><br /><br />You mean Red, right?<br /><br />By "adult politics" I mean an actual process by which humans use a combination of emotion, reason, logic, and sense to try and come up with practical solutions to collective problems. No argument that this has never been particularly common - boneheaded stupidity and blind passion have been as common as not throughout human history - but that the current crop of Reds is perhaps the least rational and thoughtful in the past 40 years of increasingly mendacious and pandering public policy.<br /><br />As I've said; Donald Fuckedbythenavel is the pure black tar, the sweet rush of completely unhinged Id, that takes this far beyond the previous nibbling-around-the-edges-of-the-truth sorts of lying. It's stuff like this:<br /><br /><i>"We lose everywhere. We lose militarily. We can't beat ISIS. We can't beat anybody. Our vets are being treated horribly. It will change. We will have so much winning, if I get elected."</i><br /><br />So! Much! Winning!<br /><br />And yet...nobody in the public press laughs when this dildo says stuff like this.<br /><br />You could be buried up to the ass in WonderBread and it'd still make you cry.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-58816141527167911202015-09-15T07:54:34.295-07:002015-09-15T07:54:34.295-07:00By adult politics, do you mean the years of fear a...By adult politics, do you mean the years of fear and hate mongering which has created 25% of the world's prison population? Or maybe its those militia groups chasing hot spots while being recorded as being in perpetual armed rebellion on national TV? The politics haven't changed in years.<br /><br />No, those massive stone columns on the Capitol are not simply decoration, they are branding and foreshadowing. Every year, the Blues and the Reds demand ever more entertaining circuses and most years they are disappointed. This year, the Blue faction is providing what the people demand. <br /><br />If you think that is a problem, just wait til the bread supply runs low.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.com
