The Cruelty Is the Point

The Cruelty Is the Point

One of the weird things about the current political climate is how aggrieved Rapublicans are toward anyone not a Rapublican. I'd really love to know why they think everyone who doesn't think like they do has made their lives so crappy, they derive happiness from "liberal tears."

I'd pity their crappy lives if they weren't so hell bent on everyone else being as miserable as they are.

It's kind of like what Churchill said about the Germans. "They're either at your feet or at your throat."

The current climate makes avoiding Nazi comparisons extremely difficult.

I keep thinking about the article's mention of people smiling in photographs of lynchings. Everyone at his rally laughing at Drumpf mocking Ford is the modern day equivalent. I guess a party that whines together dines together.

These people are seriously pathetic.

Unless one is not stupid.

Ironic given the lynch mob composed of Libs/Democrats that recently gathered at Kavanaugh hearings.

Which group is it again that flips out if someone kneels during the national anthem to protest police impunity or in large numbers manages to take offense at the phrase "Season's Greetings"?

Maybe this poll doesn't capture propensity for offense so much as attitudes towards particular kinds of offenses contextually assumed from the poll question.

Or if someone isn’t wearing a flag pin, or uses Dijon mustard.

Wearing tan suits, naturally brown skin or being born in Hawaii...unforgivable.
