Nothing much at the link today other than the rant.

On this April Fool’s day, let us call out some fools. Let us call out some serious fools. Yay and verily, Cranky Brothers and Sisters, let us call out some seriously destructive fools that infest our country. Because their folly is not a joke. It’s not even worthy of a giggle. They are, in brief:

ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO ENABLES TEAPUBLICANS TO HOLD OFFICE. Yes, Boehner, Pence, Cotton et.al. are scumbuckets par excellence, but they can do their scumbucketing in office only because fools voted them into said offices. Today, let’s list the four main categories of such fools:

Number A: Anyone who votes for a Teapubbie. By the way, there is no longer any difference between the Teabaggers and the “Republicans”. Just as happened with the “Christian Conservatives” in the last century, the party has been taken over by the extremists. So if you vote for anybody from the GOP, you are voting for Ayn Rand-worshipping, homophobic, racist, bigoted, Constitutionally-challenged, seditious mother***ers.

Letter 2: Anyone who COULD have voted but failed to do so. Electoral math in our corrupted, twisted “democracy” is binary. D or R. No other choice matters, because no one can get anything done unless they are a member of one of the two parties that Adams and Washington warned us against, or if they caucus with one of those parties. So a non-vote is equivalent to a vote for Teapublicans. Oh, and shove the “conscience” and “ideology” arguments, because neither one matters when the votes are tallied up. The only things that count on election night are ballots.

Thirdly: Anyone who does not cast their ballot so as to defeat all Teapublicans. Electoral math in our corrupted, twisted “democracy” is binary. D or R. No other choice matters, because no one can get anything done unless they are a member of one of the two parties that Adams and Washington warned us against, or if they caucus with one of those parties. So a third-party/protest/cartoon-character-write-in vote is equivalent to a vote for Teapublicans. Oh, and shove the “conscience” and “ideology” arguments, because neither one matters when the votes are tallied up. The only things that count on election night are ballots.

Finally: The “News” media. It is so far in the Teapubbie Tank as to be part of the RNC’s Communication department. Even allegedly “liberal” outlets like MSNBC and NPR frequently regurgitate Repub talking points whole. No wonder so many people are foolish: even smart people can be fooled, if the media “catapults the propaganda” often enough.

How to not be a fool: Vote so as to defeat each and every Teapublican in each and every race, in each and every election.
