......So the Rude Pundit read the Sulli-piece...

[kpete]

......So the Rude Pundit read the Sulli-piece. In it, our man in DC gets all verklempt that this country, so well-conceived by slaveowners and their enablers, might finally fall due to the rise of the dark lord, Donald Trump, and the heaving hordes of the unwashed that will no doubt follow him. Trump is, to Sullivan's mind, the near-ideal synthesis of subject - candidate - and form - the internet of idiots, as demonstrated on Twitter and various comment threads of the damned. Trump's racist rhetoric is "giving legitimacy to the most hysterical and ugly of human impulses."

Sullivan throws some historical knowledge at us: "Just as the English Civil War ended with a dictatorship under Oliver Cromwell, and the French Revolution gave us Napoleon Bonaparte, and the unstable chaos of Russian democracy yielded to Vladimir Putin, and the most recent burst of Egyptian democracy set the conditions for General el-Sisi’s coup, so our paralyzed, emotional hyperdemocracy leads the stumbling, frustrated, angry voter toward the chimerical panacea of Trump." That term, "hyperdemocracy," is one that Sullivan uses for, really, a democracy that allows the poors to vote and the naifs to get elected. He pins the blame for the rise of Trump on the very anti-intellectualism that propelled him ahead of the GOP's chosen candidates and on the over-democratization of the nation. The rabble are getting the best of the elites, and Sullivan says that we need elites "precisely to protect this precious democracy from its own destabilizing excesses." -

"Motherfucker, who got us into this situation? It was the fucking insiders and the fucking 'elites' of each of the parties. It was the cocksucking elites in the media who wanted to lick some of the balls of real power. It was the bastard moneyed elites who manipulated elections and districts and courts and the entire goddamned system. We aren't here because gay people wanted to be allowed to get married and that pissed off the yahoos. We're here because decades of bullshit told the yahoos that their ignorance was right. The elites let them believe that they knew best. The elites can save us? Fuck. Only if they can save us from themselves. There aren't enough buildings for them to jump off in order to save the rest of us."

1. Shouldn't this be in GDP

[malaise]

3. No

Rudie is always in GP

[Chan790]

16. No. It has nothing to do with the Democratic primary.

It's about the implosion of the GOP and the rise of the anti-intellectual-bully right eating their RW intellectuals.

7. I think the full RP quote is

It was the fucking insiders and the fucking 'elites' of each of the parties. It was the cocksucking elites in the media who wanted to lick some of the balls of real power. It was the bastard moneyed elites who manipulated elections and districts and courts and the entire goddamned system. We aren't here because gay people wanted to be allowed to get married and that pissed off the yahoos. We're here because decades of bullshit told the yahoos that their ignorance was right. The elites let them believe that they knew best. The elites can save us? Fuck. Only if they can save us from themselves. There aren't enough buildings for them to jump off in order to save the rest of us. But we should still vote blindly for them if they're not a Republican because they're scary.

12. voices in the wilderness crying loudly

WAKE UP PEOPLE! There is a runaway train barreling down the tracks to the station. Has hundreds of passengers screaming in gleeful anticipation of the impending magnitude of the coming collision between the two opposing Partys in November. No matter those gleeful partiers on that train will end up in a bloody heap as victims of their own naivete. ignorance and just plain meaness. I feel it's coming down to brownshirts or a reasonable facsimile roaming the streets in the name of and with vested authority of the engineer of that runaway train who jumped much earlier and felt a surge of power at the crash, which left him standing and blaming "others" for the carnage.

These links are a warning, precient.

I hope our numbers on election day are such a huge margin that this election cannot be stolen by this Hitler redux
