In North Carolina a Republican law maker
wants to bring back public hangings for "murderers" as well as
"abortionists, rapists, and kidnappers." Not that the maniacs are all robotic sociopaths but just enough of them to keep me voting for the lesser of two evils.
That's a good point, the righting has gotten so extreme that somebody that is not a colette nut job almost seems reasonable .
ReplyDeleteYep and making matters worse, from my perspective, all the reasonable-seeming people are really Eisenhower or Reagan era Republicans.
ReplyDeleteWow I really need to proofread my comments, i think the older republicans at least cared somewhat about fellow citizens, where I think the current crop of politicians care about people with money and punishing people that don't have money, especially if the people without money have brown skin, then punishing them is really important to our elites.
ReplyDeleteHow much any politician cares about people is less important than is the possession of a willingness not to harm them. All the policies agreed on by the neoliberal consensus, at their core, serve to harm people who aren't Mitt Romney or the Koch Brothers.
