The Republicans Have Quit on America; It’s Time for Americans to Quit on Them

It is inescapable. The Republican Party has not only refused to participate in governing America, but they have refused to participate in our shared reality. Look at their Party Platform. At a time when the fastest growing belief system in America is non-belief, they give us a Party Platform written by religious extremists.

They have quit on America. They have quit on reality.

It wasn’t a happy fit. Nor was it a congenial parting. Look what happened to Richard Mourdock, or to Todd Akin, or to Scott Brown, or to Sharron Angle before them, and others. If you refuse to share our reality, we don’t have much use for you.

Redistricting saved the GOP from being absolutely shut out of the halls of power in 2012, but that’s just an unhappy coincidence. It won’t save them in 2014. Every year, America becomes more socially liberal than the year before, which leaves the Republican Party pissing off increasing numbers of Americans, which translates into fewer Republican votes.

The Republicans have quit on America, and Americans are beginning to notice. I don’t think the Republicans will like it when we get angry.

Happy New Year, my fellow angry Americans. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work. We have some trash to take out.

4. At what point will those Americans who are being hurt the most by the far right....

...begin to turn to massive acts of civil disobedience and some of outright violence?

If you look at world history, the US is dangerously close to widespread dissatisfaction and hopelessness turning to outright revolutionary acts.

5. Reality has always been the Republican's worse enemy

But can even this disaster burst the Republican's infotainment bubble?

6. can even this disaster burst the Republican's infotainment bubble?

Yes,I think so.....It's worked it's way into my Mother in Laws little bubble.....She's just this afternoon started berating thuglicans.......This is a woman who rarely forms an opinion without faux/Limpbaugh or her crazy ass teabag sister telling her what that opinion should be......Even better...She owns/runs a beauty salon that caters to "bluehairs" who all tell each other wehat to think....There is some good coming from this.......Just not for teathuglicans....
