Here’s a short list of today’s crises:
The Republican House is determined to betray Ukraine
We are on the verge of yet another government shutdown that Republicans still imagine will help them, even though they get burned every time they try it
Another mass shooting, this time at the Super Bowl victory party in Kansas City
Vladimir Putin continues to humiliate Republicans lickspittles like Trump and Tucker Carlson
Trump’s most recent, abysmally stupid, remarks about NATO roil the world order again
This is just a list of the top-line items. Republicans are out there every minute of every day destroying, destroying, destroying.
Fortunately, Decent Americans are finally catching on. In election after election, they are telling the nation with their votes that they are going to do the one thing that will make everything better—namely, vote all Republicans out of office.
Tuesday’s election of Tom Suozzi in a New York special election is another data point pointing in the that direction. The final poll before the election showed a tie between the Democrat and the Republican. Suozzi won by eight percentage points. The polls have been off for a long time, consistently overstating Republican viability. When elections occur, we see that Republicans are getting trounced.
I won’t get into the perverse incentives that drive the press to want to see close elections. They are like the perverse incentives that drive the press to brutal crime stories. It’s all about drama and exciting emotions because that’s where people will put their money.
But Decent America is finally getting the point. All our problems would be well on the way to improvement if we would only crush the Republican party once and for all.
As I showed in my book Conservative Estimate, Republicans are stunningly wrong about everything. You wouldn’t think that it would be humanly possible to wrong about so many things. Even the devil has to say something true from time to time just to con his marks. But Republicans are consistently wrong about almost everything—and they back up their ignorance with arrogance to make it even worse.
Republicans are wrong about the economy. Their “free-market” nonsense has always been just a smokescreen for greed. Who is right? John Maynard Keynes and the Democrats, who have a long-term record as the best American party on economics. And Biden and the Federal Reserve has just confirmed it—much to the annoyance of Republicans.
Republicans are wrong about religion. It is between the individual and any divinities he or she may or may not believe in. It has no place in politics, certainly not as a cudgel to beat those who believe differently. Who is right about religion? The Framers and the Democratic party, who believe that it is a matter of personal conscience, not public posturing.
Republicans are wrong about abortion. It is their maniacal religiosity that prevents them from seeing it as the medical necessity that it sometimes is. Who is right about abortion, decent American women and the Democratic party, who think that people should control their own lives free of impositions from religious zealots.
Republicans are wrong about guns. Guns do not make anyone safer. On the contrary, the more guns in a society, the more violence and death. Who is right about guns? All gun-control groups and the Democratic party, who want responsible gun ownership, which means less gun ownership because many people, especially Republicans, are not responsible.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Everything Republicans believe is wrong, and consistently wrong, because it is all connected by the thread that animates all things Republican—fear.
So let’s look forward to a new era in American politics to begin this fall—the era of freedom from Republicanism and its vile spawn Trump and Trumpism.
When Democrats take charge of everything, life will quickly and substantially improve.
And we will be well on the way to a renewed health and prosperity in world affairs as America takes on once again its historic role to lead humanity toward what it has always needed—a truly rational politics.
Me too!
Hope you’re right!
