This is an opinion piece in the NY Times basically saying Trump is a monster and the GOP Dr. Frankenstein. Same old same old. What I found amusing is how illegal aliens are Orwellian re-named as "newly arrived strivers".
Here is the quote:
The adults patrolling the playpen of Republican politics are appalled that weve become a society where its O.K. to make fun of veterans, to call anyone who isnt rich a loser, to cast an entire group of newly arrived strivers as rapists and shiftless criminals.
Just too funny.
Here is the rest of the article:
Somewhere, we crossed a line from our mothers modesty to strutting braggadocio, from dutiful decorum to smashing all the china in the room, from respecting a base set of facts to a trumpeting of willful ignorance.
Yes, how did we get to a point where up to one-fourth of the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan now aligns itself with Donald Trump? Those same political marshals would have us believe hes a demagogue, a jackass, a cancer.
They say hes trashing the Republic brand. They say hes stirring up the crazies, in the words of Senator John McCain. But Trump is the brand, to a sizable degree. And the crazies have long flourished in the Republican media wing, where any amount of gaseous buffoonery goes unchallenged.
