Scream “Ebola, ISIS, Obama,” rinse, repeat

Republicans have decided that “Ebola, ISIS, Obama” is this year’s recipe for political victory. After all, Ebola (carried by scary black Africans) and Isis (scary, mostly brown people cutting off heads) are virtually guaranteed to spread terror far and wide across America. And of course, Obama must be responsible for letting it all enter this country since he’s the President. Perhaps, most disgusting, is the media’s complicity in drowning America in an enormous vat of bullshit.
It’s hard to believe that this is the same country that saved the entire world from fascism in WWII and, along with others, has fought Aids almost to a draw. Who would have thought that panic could so easily go viral here and would include such a broad spectrum of people? I guess it’s a testament to the effectiveness and efficiency of Republican messaging, along with the media giving them full access to open microphones to spread the dread.
In the not too distant future, many people will look back at today and wonder why they bought the snake oil. But by then, there will be a new cauldron of fear, or perhaps a new shiny object that the GOP/media cartel will be peddling.
It seems that the idea of having to give people something to vote for is an illusion. The reality, and the moral here, is that if people have no reason in the world to vote for you, terrify them. And also make sure that those who would never vote for you don’t get to vote.
