Oh, I am completely with you, trust me. The past decade is only when the GOP has truly reached its apotheosis (I hope) of hate and stupidity. A popular black liberal President who refused to have a nice juicy scandal they could exploit threw them into a special kind of froth. But, yes, it's all born of Nixon's Southern Strategy and the idea of injecting hateful cynicism into the marrow of the party. Like saying, "Even though we may not be racist ourselves, racism is something we can exploit to gain and keep power." And then over the decades substitute racism with all sorts of ugly shit. And then -- oops -- get taken over by people who are actually deranged racists because, well, now that's what your base desires. But wait: They still want to cut taxes on the rich. So it all worked out well in the end! ..... I am more than happy to discuss politics. Sounds like we're on the same page though, more or less. :-)
