Some political absurdities are so gargantuanly self-destructive that they leave me speechless — but apparently not the able Cliff Schecter

 

His overview of the Republican Party’s not-so-hidden death wish is worth reading.

 

The short article juxtaposes a handful of political idiocies that come together to build a picture of a bigoted white men’s political party.

 

I won’t quote much.  Schecter’s skill lies in how he puts his words and vignettes together.  One has to read his piece directly to appreciate its graceful dissection of stupidities.

 

A taste:

 

The thing about elections is that to win them you need voters willing to, you know, vote for you.

 

And at the current rate the Republican Party is going, they may have to start resuscitating every dead white male since the Whiskey Rebellion to have any shot at winning outside of Utah, or a Gingrich-family-settled lunar colony.

The moral? — Being able to say “good riddance” to these mental-cave-dwelling bigots’ back-sides would be nice

 

We might regain some cultural sanity.
