Ten Years Later: The Seven Nation Army of George W. Bush

[kpete]

Ten years ago, we were facing another election. It was being aggressively prosecuted by another cohort of utterly loathsome Conservative criminals and lunatics who were hotly, wildly cheered by the same army of fact-impervious Pig People who will flood the polls again this November to try and complete the act of slow-motion sedition-by-sabotage they began the day Barack Obama first took the oath of office, and that they have been fanatically pursuing every day since,

If you're a Liberal, you remember waking up that awful day in November to find that, yes, 60 million of your fellow citizens really were fucking stupid enough to give the Bush Regime four more year to finish the job of wrecking this country on behalf of their corporate benefactors.

And if you're a Liberal, you are girding yourself for the possibility of once again waking up to find that, yes, about half this country has continued to exist in a persistent political vegetative state utterly unmoved or unaware of any of the events of the past 10 years because IRS! Benghazi !DeathPanels! Ebola! Deficits! and so forth.

They are angry, paranoid and often racist houseplants, and continuing to pretend they are somehow competent citizens with whom we can have a civil debate over anything is a habit of mind which outlived its usefulness long ago.
