A Big F'ing Deal
Everywhere you look, red has covered all level of
governments. In addition to taking
control of the Senate, the Republicans have gained additional seats in the
House of Representatives. Thirty two
states now have Republican governors, including the bluest of the blue
Illinois, Maryland, and Massachusetts. In
Ohio, John Kasich won most if not all counties, including Mahoning and
Cuyahoga. The Republican Party controls more state houses than any time since
the mid 1920’s. Chris Redfern, the Ohio
Democratic Chair, lost his own Ohio house seat yesterday and resigned as party
chair this morning. For the first time
in over 140 years Republicans control all congressional seats from Arkansas. The scope of this Republican resurgence goes
on and on. This from a party the media
declared dying or dead.
In Mahoning County, Ralph Meacham, a novice Republican
candidate who only got into the race 10 weeks ago, beat the incumbent indicted
auditor. Independent Rob Rusu, appointed
just 4 months ago by Governor Kasich as Probate Judge to fill the judicial seat
vacated by convicted felon Mark Belinky, successfully defended his appointment
against Susan Maruca, the darling of the local Democratic Party, who had almost
zero experience in probate practice. Her
campaign “it’s about family, not files” just didn’t cut it.
Racist Republicans sent the first Republican African
American woman ever to Congress. Racist
Republicans elected the first black African American senator from South Carolina
since reconstruction. Mysogynist
Republicans elected women Congresspersons, Senators, and Governors. Old Republicans have elected the youngest
female ever sent to Congress. And
homophobic Republicans have elected openly gay folks to numerous elected office including Congress.
Even today, the folks at CNN were trying to spin this
loss as a “national trend” against incumbent officeholders as opposed to what
it is: a repudiation of the progressive politics of deceit, division and
hate. Continually divide the population
into smaller and smaller groups and pit them against each other, sooner or
later you are going to piss somebody off. Continually lie to the American public about
thing after thing after thing, sooner or later the public will wise up. Use duplicitous tactics against your
opponents in Congress, you will be repaid in kind. Be tone deaf to the people who elected you,
and you will be thrown out of office.
Progressive ideology is ruthless, relentless, and unforgiving. The end always justify the means no matter
who or what is destroyed in the process.
The overall sense of they know what is best for you is narcissism off
the charts filled with derision and condescension. I can deal with a crooked politician. I can deal with an inept politician. I can deal with a lazy politician. But God save me and the country from some
smarmy politically correct narcissistic egoist of a politician who is hell bent
on achieving a vision of liberal utopia no matter who or what gets in the way
and who or what is destroyed in the process.
