These guys. Geez-la-wheez. They are…. just so predictably… idiotic.
At least the Ringsiders admit that Trump is unfit for office, today. So, there’s that silver lining.
But the main thrust of both Bill’s — and Paul’s — latest bleatings is that the Boomers’ doubts about ‘Murica’s supposed infallibility… is what is ruining us all. Thus Bill writes:
…But part was our carelessness with our success and our doubts, inflamed by the civil rights struggle and Vietnam, about whether we deserved it….
Damn. So many things wrong with that take: the civil rights movement was not a weakness, nor was it born of “self-doubt”. It was born of a fuller agreement, that the words of the founding documents ought to, finally, well-over 220 years later, apply to ALL of us — both de facto and de jure.
This — plus the embedded whyte divine entitlement mentality… is why the current GOP gets so much of what it really means to be American… backwards. And encapsulated in one sentence — to boot.
I guess I ought to thank Bill, for summing up, very tersely… why he, and his party politics… are pure losing propositions.
Thanks, buddy.
