  • Rove is a fascist strategist of the Lee Atwater School. The racism and cruelty are perfectly fine and usable as long as you don’t say it out loud.

    Not to over pathologize here, but I think crafting the doublespeak is part of what they get off on. His is the generation that came up with bussing, and using abortion as a front for racism. Welfare Queens and Cop Killers and Superpredators. It’s vile, and the damage it’s done is a big part of what got us here, but there’s an ugly sort of art to that kind of perversion of language. Rove, Cheney, Gingrich, Norquist, and plenty of other horrible old fucks built empires on it.

    Then along comes this mouth-breathing nepo-celebrity, crashing from racist tirade to sexual assault recap live on camera, taking over the entire party and just saying the shit out loud, on a megaphone, 24 hours a day.

    I think to people like Rove, Trump just took the fun out of it.



  • "As a conservative woman living in Texas, I often feel like I’m living a dual reality. I’m a mom and a writer, but that’s not all. I go to church, laugh with friends and wave at my neighbors while we are walking our dogs.

    Not the Mexicans though, because they shouldn’t be allowed to be here. Or the gays down the street trying to adopt a child, because that’s an abomination. Also, poor children shouldn’t be allowed to eat food, climate change is a hoax, and if you disagree with anything I say I’m going to call you woke and unamerican. Why aren’t people nice to me?"
