Breitbart has gone full anti Trump all the time

65. Richard's WEB

Thanks for your insightful reply. Its very interesting and informative to hear from someone having exposure to the upper echelons of Republican internal machinery. Just visited Richard's web site for the first time and it should be vitriolHQ rather than ConservativeHQ.com. As a snapshot, I see mostly highly inflammatory and polarizing language laced with distortion and lies, with instances just short of calls for violent insurrection. Your statement about him "descending to the intellectual level of the human hyenas that constitute his followers" pretty much defines the entire home page. Almost makes me ill to look at it.

Folks with my country upbringing are astounded with this degree of backward thinking and void of civility. However, as you've made clear, his primary mission is creating a dense media smokescreen and noise machine to conceal massive implementation of hard-right social and economic policy.

As a scientist and liberal, I've grasped for understanding of the Republican mindset for many years and have gained some insight from the writings of psychologists with similar curiosity. I don't think we even have an official name for it but as you know, it's a well-defined mental condition. It's something related to evolutionary quirks and controlled, authoritarian upbringing that will always be a small sector of most populations but when coupled with those who are also psychopathic, we have the perfect Republican.

I refuse to call these people conservatives because to me, it's an adulteration of the word. Republicans have done that to far too many of our good words such as liberal, freedom and liberty, making it hard to carry on good literate conversations.

Appreciate the great exchange (and Paul Simon lines!), although I'm probably exceeding the intent of a regular DU thread response. Is there a subsection in DU where this is normal and encouraged? It's my preferred way to vent. Have a good week, DFW.
