Probably our fault(!)
. . . or at least that's what's projected.
P.S. The amount of times Neo tells us to "Keep it up!" it makes me wonder whether he's projecting then too. Maybe he has ED or something

Nixon for instance, during his tenure the EPA was launched. Does that sound right ? There's a WTF moment for you.
And Nixon pulled the plug on the chemical/germ warfare program. Granted, Trump might start it back up, but Nixon nixed it? Get out of here!
In the democrat presidential primary in 1980, Ted Kennedy ran against Carter, a sitting democrat president. WTF was that about? Did it help Reagan? Well, yeah probably. Was that or should it have been pretty obvious to Ted before he did it, especially since Ted wasn't considered electable before he threw his hat in the ring, and events subsequent certainly proved that. As much as I detest Reagan, Ted Kennedy probably should be the subject to at least some of my ire for how that era played out.
I can only hope that if we ever succeed in running a competent and electable candidate, people will look past the track record of incompletency on the part of the party itself.

LOL, I know Brewer, I'm lamenting the loss of your voice in the halls of authority. Unfortunately, the gop doesn;t seem to be interested in courting you anymore.

Well, I'm getting tired of Neo's schtick. Can you tell? I haven't even bothered to read the one about math being racist. Stupid shit happens. People on both sides do it. But painting everyone with one brush is despicable.
That's what Minimalist has been doing on a larger scale for a longer time...yet he gets reps for it.

As someone who likes the term "Hitlery", and found her so repulsive, you couldn't stomach voting for her even in the face of a horrible fascist racist monster like Trump possibly winning the presidency...how do you view people who did vote for Hillary and even went as far as to like her?
Do you think they are complicit with the evilness she represents with her Hitler-like ways? Or do you just think they are decent folks who are just too dumb to realize what you realize?

Oh you mean like me? Voted for Hillary happily and would have been ecstatic to see her elected. She, like her husband, is a political realist trying to win the election in the way she thinks mostly likely to be effective. Too bad she was complacent and lazy in places during her campaign.
I'm not so hard to stomach. And it isn't so bad being a cog in the dark evil spreading out from Mordor. The perks are good. People like you who get all puffed up with your self-perceived moral righteousness are the ones who make me want to hurl. Hopefully you'll grow beyond your insistence on moral purity and join us out here in the real world.

I don't think voting for Hillary was bad at all. Khemikal is the one who calls her "Hitlery", and thought she was so awful, he didn't vote for her despite Trump being the opponent. I'm just curious what he thinks of "Hitlery" voters. Does he think you're blind or complicit? If she's as bad as he says, wouldn't that mean he (khem) thinks you (whateverist) are one or the other?
