and get a college degree after he became a famous journalist can always dare to question people: he is a straight white right wing male. That is all the excuse these people need,, and all the justification they think they need to provide, as shown whenever Chucky or Tucker Carlson look at the camera and give that goofy smile, the one that says "you were just here for my amusement and exploitation, I do not have to care what you think!"

We really may have to realize that our enemy really has no sense of outrage or shame. This is not like when Gandhi was able to urge millions of people to nonviolently resist because the British eventually were ashamed at the animals that they had become! This is a new era, the right has successfully numbed the conscience of people to wear its enforcers either think they are just taking their rightful share of sadistic amusement, like Chucky, Carlson, and Coulter, or worse yet they actually think they are being moral, like Ryan or Mike pence or Ted Cruz. The latter type is the read a little scary part, because these folks have not managed to separate their cancerous moral center from an authentic one. It is no accident that these three are religious, because the religions that they espouse are meant to take over the part of a human being that has a conscience and replace it with programming that will keep the rich man safe and wealthy.

In short folks, we better not rely on "have you no shame?" Frankly the right wing has inoculated its people against shame, either by making them think that they have an entitlement to have no shame, or to think that the very things that are shameful are precisely what is moral. yes it is a mess, but the good news is these folks are greedy.. Right now, any political activity, any resistance to the right that does not include hitting them directly in the pocketbook is just political theater. Their only power is for a wallet, and if that means that yes we need to give up Rachel Maddow along with the rest of the NBC goons and if that means we need to stop buying whatever they sell on their commercials, so be it. Anything else will just serve as amusement while they do verse stupid laugh and think your pain is the rightful validation of their vanity and appetite.

... because that's what humans will do unless someone slaps the shit out of them with reality.

Reality had a way of catching up to us though... our normal isn't going to defeat reality

This should be an OP.

Every time we say "Well they can't go any lower..." and they do... And then we say Well that'll sink 'em!", and it doesn't, just validates what you wrote. They are immune to crassness and have rejected what were once societal-defined "norms" of decorum. But what makes it worse in their case is the "Do as I say not what I do" mentality where those "norms" that they boldly rejected are enforced on "others" not them (e.g., the Obamas).

and sounded absolutely exasperated. Guess he got his marching orders this evening.

Yup - Birthers, "madrassa-gate", college transcript-gate - all trumpeted by the Trump networks.
