Life forms like Ted Cruz are the inevitable price the country is paying for the sin of Lee Atwater

[phantom power]

Life forms like Ted Cruz are the inevitable price the country is paying for the sin of Lee Atwater and the Southern Strategy -- the day the GOP decided to go all-in with the crazies, and all the respectable people in town reacted by looking the other way and/or finding a hippie to punish, Of course, fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of raving idiots running the Party of Lincoln may speedily pass away.

But I don't see that happening anytime soon.

The amount of time and money plutocrats have sunk into turning America's yokels and snake handlers and dimwits and bigots into a Great Big Fucking Hammer has been mind-blowing, and what they have built with their money and influence is really a political engineering marvel: a self-contained, proudly ignorant, red-white-and-blue fascism, assembled right out in the open while being conspicuously ignored by virtually our entire elite American political media persons.

1. Money can buy "anything"

I wonder; if the Kock bros actually came out and said publicly, "we are buying the next president", and then spent enough money doing so, I wonder if the American idiot would let them succeed.
I sure wish I could say no.
