it's such a dumpster fire of an event. i can't even imagine what the rest of the world thinks of us. (well, i kind of can, and it's not super flattering.) donald jr's speechwriter's "plagiarism" - which turned out to not be, because you can't exactly plagiarize yourself - was so lazy and incompetent. i mean, really? you can't write all new stuff for the guy's speech? the fact that it's technically not plagarism after all doesn't make it a lot better. and you know the woman who supposedly took responsibility for melania's plagiarism? (even tho melania insisted she wrote the speech herself, and seriously, we laugh.) there's a question now as to whether or not she even exists. ted cruz very publicly (and apparently sincerely!) refuses to endorse trump, and i discover the tiniest shred of admiration for him. which i do not understand, because he is TED CRUZ, what the hell, brain? it's like we've fallen down the rabbit hole into crazytown.
and yeah, this is where years of sustained and calculatedly divisive us-vs-them, everyone-who-isn't-straight-white-christian-and-male-is-inferior gets you. this is the result of decades of pandering. and the republican party is looking around and wondering how they got into this mess? you did it to yourselves, you jackasses. this is your own damn fault.

The current GOP mess kind of reminds me of Michelle Bachmann and how she was so against the census and totally bought into the 'evil overlord government using census data to track us' kool-aide and told people not to fill it out.. only to have numerous law enforcement types say "err, actually you are legally required to do that." But she still kept saying she was against it and then when the population numbers came in they had to do redistricting because the (completely gerrymandered) district that had been sustaining her political career didn't have the numbers needed anymore and ooops, suddenly she no longer had a job.
Someplace, somewhere, has to have a political system that works. *sighs*
