Has been stewing in a bath of faux-resentment for so long that it's now soaked into the Party's genes.

À la Breitbart, 'Licans have convinced themselves that every scrap of political speech that floats by is a frontal assault on their values and must be anihilated with tooth, claw, and flamethrower.

It's both sad and silly at the same time.

And while a permanent-state-of-rolling-resentment may be somewhat effective in whipping up a frenzy among their increasingly inbred and defective base, it just makes them look less and less serious.

An example: 'Licans — who any sane observer will acknowledge are vigorously pushing to roll back a century's worth of social and legal progress for women — nevertheless being Shocked! that they're accused of waging a war on women. And then going out the same day and laying out another set of policies that do exactly that.

I think 'Licans are no longer able to grasp how sensible people might respond to their messages, because they don't run across sensible people in their organization anymore. So everything is either a shriek to the sky or a shout down a well.

Very sad. Very silly. Very depressing. Very dangerous: a two-party system with one political party and one political cult does not make for a stable situation.
