‘Traditional’ Republicans and Nonsense Narratives

Delusion and Preserving the Status Quo — Headlines abound about Mike Pence’s likely pursuit of the presidency. I might feel sorry for him if he wasn’t, you know, committed to consciously, purposefully causing immense harm to people and planet — like the GOP as a whole. Some run for president to boost their public profile, to make…

Corporate Media is an Extension of Plutocracy

For Daniel

And for all victims of gun violence or dehumanization — In the only photo I’ve seen, the only one on file, he wears a Star Wars shirt and closed-mouth smile / The rest, having not met him, is for me to imagine but seeing him next to his mother, I see compassion / I see a child who may laugh…

I don't know why I bother to keep writing what I'm about to write, because it's not like elected officials or members of the media will ever be so blunt, but we are long past the point at which Republicans in elected office need to be called what they are…

Culture War and Moral Equivalence

Who’s the Aggressor? — Culture war, as defined by Oxford Dictionary, is “a conflict between groups, especially liberal and conservative groups, that have different cultural ideals, beliefs, or philosophies.” So, one might be justified in suggesting both those on the right and those on the left are waging culture war. But I’d like to…

It’s the Ignorance, Stupid!

Earlier this year, nearly every Republican in the House voted against an emergency spending bill designed to address the baby formula crisis. As Bess Levin of Vanity Fair pointed out at the time, Florida representative Kat Cammack had the previous week “tweeted a photo of formula at a U.S. border…

To the Enablers of Gun Violence

A majority shun your silence on gun violence. We do not grant you authority to brand murder a fun hobby and demand to disband your sorority, your priority to girder, nurture and further the gun lobby. / You knowingly misconstrue the second amendment to mindblowingly accrue and beckon resentment, as…

As a 2017 Vox article states, study after study after study makes it clear that racial resentment is the main driver of Trump support. https://www.vox.com/identities/2017/12/15/16781222/trump-racism-economic-anxiety-study And it's quite obviously the main driver of Republican support in general. Are there millions of Republicans who would absolutely love to take us back…
