Why is the Right So Dumb?
By Chris Ladd

Nothing about the decline of conservatism is quite as shocking as its crass stupidity. Every week brings a new low. Last year GOP Congressman Mo Brooks claimed that sea level rise was caused by rocks falling in the ocean. That seemed bad, but then this year he read a passage from Mein Kampf on the House floor while referring to the "Mewler" Investigation. Former Congressman Michele Bachmann described Trump as the most Biblical President in our history. Nice, polite, "sane" Republican Ben Sasse, promoted a Senate Bill to ban a mythical medical procedure, along the way threatening to undermine the health care of real women in the real world. While the rest of the country pores over the shocking revelations in the Mueller Report, Fox News is somehow still talking about Hillary Clinton's emails.

Its bigotry, callousness and greed were all evident at the margins even when the conservative movement was at its zenith. Now, in its ugly, violent death-throes what emerges is the brain-dead cultishness of zombies, debasing themselves before a low-rent charlatan, selling off the last fading chunks of their souls to hold off the reckoning for one more month, one more week, one more hour. So far, they are winning.

Their apparent stupidity is a product of desperation. Ideas at the heart of conservatism in the US and Europe are in comprehensive, systemic failure. Nationalism, laissez faire economics, and systems of monolithic cultural supremacy have ceased to deliver success. Money and power now accompany pluralism, cognitive diversity, science, globalism and trade. There is only one hope for those who can't live in a world without white supremacy and a white Christian religious order – extract their country from the global order by any means necessary.

Republicans have embraced the enforced stupidity of the cult as a defense against a rising new world. Only with their eyes closed and their ears plugged can they continue to live in the only environment that makes sense to them. Adaptation is painful and challenging, and these are very lazy people, grown soft and weak in a world quietly groomed to favor them.

From Brexit to Trump and beyond, the right's embrace of cult logic is an important signal. They are telling us that they're not invested in a political order aimed at achieving common goals. Conservatives across the globe have embraced the logic of the suicide bomber. They will destroy a nascent new order even if they must burn down their own home, and yours.

A healthy democracy is built on consensus. No consensus is possible with people who have rejected the evidence of empirical reality. You can't build the future in cooperation with those convinced that their gut feel carries as much weight as forty years of climate science. Without an agreed basis in measurable facts, there is no foundation on which to build coalitions.

Republicans aren't stupid. They've merely ranked their priorities in a manner that places your future in jeopardy. Their preference for an antiquated order favoring their interests over all others requires them to disregard the evidence of science and the senses, systematically blocking others from discovering that evidence. That's not stupidity, it's cult discipline.

By doing so, Republicans have 'left the building,' no longer engaged in the shared work of building our common future. They are committed to their own, very narrow interests at the expense of all others. Our efforts to reason with them will result in nothing but losses.

It would be wise to abandon hope of returning to an older political order and embrace the disruption that looms ahead. A political purge is coming. The only uncertainty is who will lead it. Republicans are determined and willing, but relatively weak. Democrats still hold almost all of the real power, but they keep giving ground by sheer reluctance to face unwelcome realities.

If we want to see this transformation accomplished through mostly peaceful, electoral processes, we have to be willing abandon the pursuit of bi-partisanship. We are in a winner-take-all battle, whether we want it or not. Win elections, then use that power to force changes without concern for the opposition. Remove the judges appointed by a illegitimate President. Abandon the filibuster rule in the Senate. Recognize that change achieved through forceful legislative action is our only alternative to change achieved through far more forceful methods. Break the rules of the old order to build a new one.

Fail, and Republicans will finish building the Kleptocratic post-democracy they've half-constructed. The camps that today house little migrant children guilty of the crime of seeking asylum will be repurposed. When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time. Your enemies on the right aren't dumb, they just aren't willing to be bound by our rules, and measurable facts. They'll build their own future for all of us if we let them.

(This is only because YOU responded as such, EVERY time I said anything in regards to a previous election)

YOU LOST;GET OVER IT! 



There is something about karma that is so satisfying.... 

[Henry Hawk]

The U.S. economy grew at a 3.2 percent annual rate in the first three months of 2019 —  beating Wall Street's expectations of 2.5 percent growth —  according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis....His economic program IS indeed working...Just as he promised it would.

[Exterminator]

Individual quarters are meaningless.  The economy grew at an annual rate of 2.9% in 2018, just as it had in 2015.  The main difference between those two years is that the annual budget deficit for fiscal year 2015 was only $439 billion whereas it was $779 billion in 2018...a 77% increase in 3 years to maintain the same level of growth!

2019's total will be lower than 2018.  As I've said before, enjoy the party because the hangover is going to be a bitch.

 On Face Book Franklin Graham son of Preacher Billy Graham posted a birthday greeting to Melania Trump wishing her a happy birthday.  In the post Franklin Graham said that Melania was the classiest first lady we ever had.   

  I know one thing, I seen Melania bare tits on the Internet, will we every see Donald's tax returns anywhere.     

  Never before has a first lady showed her tits in public.    You are right Franklin, Melania sure is classy. 

 

  Well we have see her are tits, Henry.  When are we going to see Trump's tax returns.    Now this is going to send him to jail. 

[Henry Hawk]

Troll, every time YOU guys think you have something on Trump....is always backfires and bites your ass. 

You thought for sure Stormy Daniels was going to end his Presidency.  NADA

You thought for sure Russian Collusion was going to end his Presidency.  NADA

There has been ONE issue after another that it was going to be the end....NADA!

He is going to be in there 6 more years....he is going to nominated two maybe three more SCOTUS.  Our economy is going to continue to get better. 

You guys made your predictions before the election and laughed about it.  How it was NO WAY going to be Trump...Hillary was going to be the next..... Now, it's my turn.     

BTW, those are by FAR the Classiest TITTIES that the White House has ever seen!!!  Makes me even MORE proud of this President!!!

[Exterminator]

You thought for sure Stormy Daniels was going to end his Presidency.  NADA

Because the so-called christian party of family values have shown yourselves to be the hypocrites we've always known you to be.

You thought for sure Russian Collusion was going to end his Presidency.  NADA

Because you self-proclaimed "patriots" don't see any issues with Russia's attempts to influence the election or the Trump campaign's willingness to accept their help.  Fake Americans.

BTW, those are by FAR the Classiest TITTIES that the White House has ever seen!!!  Makes me even MORE proud of this President!!!

She's a whore.

Sounds like sour grapes to me!!

Dear Republicans: Stop using my father, Ronald Reagan, to justify your silence on Trump

Dear Republican Party,

I have never been part of you, but you have been part of my family for decades. I was 10 years old when my father decided to stop being a Democrat and instead become a Republican. From that point on, you were a frequent guest at our dinner table — and an unwelcome one to me. I wanted to talk about my science project on the human heart, or the mean girls at school who teased me for being too tall and for wearing glasses. Instead, much of the conversation was about how the government was taking too much out of people's paychecks for taxes and how it was up to the Republicans to keep government from getting too big.

You went from an annoying presence at the dinner table to a powerful tornado, lifting up my family and depositing us in the world of politics, which no one ever escapes. I know it's not completely your fault. My father's passion for America, his commitment to try to make a difference in the country and the world, and his gentle yet powerful command over crowds that gathered to hear him speak made his ascent to the presidency all but inevitable. He would have gotten there one way or another; it just happened to be as a Republican.

You have claimed his legacy, exalted him as an icon of conservatism and used the quotes of his that serve your purpose at any given moment. Yet at this moment in America's history when the democracy to which my father pledged himself and the Constitution that he swore to uphold, and did faithfully uphold, are being degraded and chipped away at by a sneering, irreverent man who traffics in bullying and dishonesty, you stay silent.

You stay silent when President Trump speaks of immigrants as if they are trash, rips children from the arms of their parents and puts them in cages. Perhaps you've forgotten that my father said America was home "for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness."

You stayed silent when this president fawned over Kim Jong Un and took Vladimir Putin's word over America's security experts. You stood mutely by when one of his spokesmen, Rudolph W. Giuliani, said there is nothing wrong with getting information from Russians. And now you do not act when Trump openly defies legitimate requests from Congress, showing his utter contempt for one of the branches of our government.


Most egregiously, you remained silent when Trump said there were "very fine people" among the neo-Nazis who marched through an American city with tiki torches, chanting, "Jews will not replace us."

Those of us who are not Republicans still have a right to expect you to act in a principled, moral and, yes, even noble way. Our democracy is in trouble, and everyone who has been elected to office has an obligation to save it. Maybe you're frightened of Trump — that idea has been floated. I don't quite understand what's frightening about an overgrown child who resorts to name-calling, but if that is the case, then my response is: You are grown men and women. Get over it.

My father called America "the shining city on a hill." Trump sees America as another of his possessions that he can slap his name on. A president is not supposed to own America. He or she is supposed to serve the American people.


In their book "How Democracies Die," Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt warned: "How do elected authoritarians shatter the democratic institutions that are supposed to constrain them? Some do it in one fell swoop. But more often the assault on democracy begins slowly."

Trump has been wounding our democracy for the past two years. If he is reelected for another term, it's almost a given that America will not survive — at least not as the country the Founding Fathers envisioned, and not as the idealistic experiment they built using a Constitution designed to protect democracy and withstand tyranny.

My father knew we were fragile. He said: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same."

So, to the Republican Party that holds tightly to my father's legacy — if you are going to stand silent as America is dismantled and dismembered, as democracy is thrown onto the ash heap of yesterday, shame on you. But don't use my father's name on the way down.

Typical conservative...me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

Lazy people don't think for themselves; they only think about themselves.
