With the breakdown of the social fabric in to which we are all woven, it is not the "dear leader", or the GOP that is so evident. It is rather the implicit flippancy that comes out of the political conversations that they influence.
It isn't discussion anymore, nor any sort of coalition of goodwill, but rather cynical hatred, dressed up as respectibility. In this sense the republicans have poisoned the water supply, not just of their enemies, but their own children.
No sane creature poisons its own society unless it is so enveloped in self-hatred that they want the society destroyed. I really believe it has come to this, that the root motives behind the pukes are the total destruction of all society, of all social goodwill and of any ability to reach out to your neighbor and offer unconditional community.
It seems almost conscious, as if they are all lurking terrorists too cowardly to hyjak airplanes, and rather seek to destroy America in the dark. And this terrorism seems veiled in this flippant cynicsm that denies our common cause, our collective presence on this planet for a facile charade of lies. What is it about our culture that allows this hatred to be elevated, without opposition, to the basis of government?
Is it just from the corporate media, seeking perversely to reduce and destroy anything but free market social darwinism. Is that it? Is it from apocalyptic cold warriors who feel cheated that it did not end in a ball of flame?

There is more evidence, certainly, of this institutional cynicism, from the drugs war to criminalize poverty, to the debasement of a presidential candidate with lies, and they all seem symptoms of this deeper cynical hatred... and not causative.
Maybe they see the society as an outgrowth of themselves, and with self loathing, hate the mirror image. Is it then a giant social suicide by sick sociopaths who don't have the self effacing nature to realize that it IS suicide they are on about.
Rather they seem like a cantankerous child running about the classroom screaming DEMANDING someone put them down, like a sniper holed up in the top of a texas baradur, waiting for someone to destroy the ring.
And all the horses men could not put humpty together again.

It is not futile. Sorry, it was poorly crafted by your standards, given your rich command of the language. There is no 1000 miles proxy to the impact of the BFEE and its agents. HOwever there is a need to diagnose its methods and expose them, woven in to the propaganda it exports. The cynicsm is common, to the point where it is a collective conclusion that the only purpose of the entire american government is to break people to make them cheap labour.

2. What it's come to is this.... |

It is, in the most unfortunate sense, from all of the above.
I had a friend who I would never turn against and thought we were through the worst, than he and her friend proceeded to tell me Sean Hannity was right. We had regained America's reputation and restored freedom.
I was disgusted so much so that, I instantly spun around later when someone came in claiming the dinosaurs were not real and that God never allowed the dinosaurs a space on our planet.
That was it, and became the last proverbial straw. These republicans and democrats in name do not deserve to be part of this once great free country. They deserve to be somewhere else, well catering and feeding to their hatred and bigotry against those who don't see their view.

And far beyond the esoteric political, people don't take off their sunglasses anymore... why bother... a mirror is better for adjusting one's hair, and to see another person is dehumanizing.
Meeting another face to face, is to admit the cynicism, to recognize the fallability of human nature and its humour and joy... but no, the sunglasses culture is disengaged behind giant cappucinos, sucking on caffeine and sugar to replace engagement.
Perhaps we should all start wearing darkened motor cycle helmets as a social commentary, and heck, it protects the head more, so that the psychosis can complete the transformation of the butterfly in to the rotten dead bug.

has it that even to suggest it is itself cynical and must be founded in some corruption.

8. Not as much self-hatred as greed, the desire for control, and what happens |

WHEN they get the control.
