I am weary to my marrow of the deep moral and intellectual sickness of the right [View all]

as encapsulated within the republican party. I'm tired to death of their racism, sexism and nativism. I'm sick of their homophobia and demonization of everyone who isn't fundamentalist 'godly'. They laud stupidity and elevate hate.

In the spectacle of their race to be the most extreme, they issue a fucking torrent of proposals, one more loathsome than the next. In under a decade, the republican party has transformed itself from being mean spirited but with a semblance of sanity, to a party of hate that's batshit crazy.

I'm so bloody sick of it. Not so many years ago, I could sometimes laugh at the stories posted here, illustrating this crap. If I didn't see those stories as entirely anomalous, I didn't see them as representing the whole of the republican party. Now? It's almost impossible to find even shallow pockets of decency and sanity within the republican ranks.

Maybe there's still some hope that the republican party can be transformed from the toxic entity it now is, but what with the control they have over state governments, redistricting, the deterioration of voting rights, unlimited funds and organizations like ALEC, it's exceedingly difficult to see how that happens.
