Lost in a Lost World 0
Steven M. tries to figure out the Republican base. A snippet:
We know that ordinary Republican schmucks think they’re heroes of the political movies that play in their heads. We know that a lot of billionaires think they’re Hitler’s victims. Why wouldn’t this message be received the same way by Carson and Huckabee and Cruz and the rest (of the candidates in the clown car–ed.)? Where do we think these folks get their news anyway? I bet it’s not from NPR.
Here in Virginia, you can get vanity plates for your car with the “Don’t Tread on Me” snake from the Gadsden flag where the hyphen would normally be. I reckon the folks who get them figure they are making a statement, but I doubt that they realize what the statement means to those outside their bubble.
When I see one of those plates, my silent response is, “Thanks for announcing that you are a bigot. Now I know who I am dealing with.”
