You’re right - the Republicans should be mad. Thing is, I don’t really care that much about those guys at this point. Their balls have already been chopped off. The Republican party as we recognized it no longer exists. Most of my satisfaction lately has been derived from the deconstruction of liberal hypocrisy, which I considered to be a betrayal of my political class (I would otherwise naturally be much more liberal), and this notion of moral superiority, which cost the Democrats the election and yet, which they still cannot acknowledge. It’s time to be less divisive and more open to common interests. You should support something that aligns with your beliefs, even if it comes from across the aisle. I’d rather align with a distasteful individual with a flawed ideology, but who has actionable ideas on other policies that I can agree with, rather than a stagnated system whose members are more interested in obstruction and obfuscation than improvement.

This is the best post so far this year.
