re: #135 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

Years and years of purposefully sowed distrust of professionals, government, and especially the political party that represents **THOSE PEOPLE** coming home to roost.

Again: It’s a cult. The leaders have very carefully calibrated their marks to accept anything fed to them through specific channels, using a selection of outrage sources designed to provoke predictable emotional responses. The election of Barack Obama woke them up to the realization that they were in danger of losing the culture war, so they are now cashing in all their chips, activating all of their brainless drones, in an attempt to do as much damage as possible. They may go down, but they’re going down swinging, dammit.
