My Ten Favorite Kinds of Right-Wing Temper Tantrums

by Lindy West 11/08/12

I remember how I felt when George W. Bush was reelected in 2004 - that pit of absolute unthinkable, desparate despair - and so I guess I should have a little more sympathy for the 150 Million Waaahmbulances of the Apocalypse currently flailing all over Twitter. And, beyond that, I should probably be sad about the overt racism of our conservative youngsters and frightened at the gun-nuttiness of our gun nuts.

However. At least for right now, I AM NOT. I am just 99% completely fucking delighted by every single weepy right-wing temper tantrum. I can't stop hate-reading. I can't stop. And you know what?

I don't need to stop. It's not like this was some arbitrary election for Homecoming Court - where we were choosing between Mitt Romney's totally on-trend bangs and Barack Obama's ability to pull off a structured blazer.

The party that my team defeated on Tuesday was a nebulous, fiscally disastrous pitchfork mob - united by racism, xenophobia, self-interest, willful ignorance, hatred of the poor, and a puritanical desire to deny my gay friends their civil rights and me, PERSONALLY, equal access to health care and basic humanity. That's about as ungracious as it gets. So fuck being gracious.

4. It may take another 10-15 years but I look forward to TX becoming blue

As soon as the Democrats take over Texas, it will be all over for the Republicans and they know it. We can start marching if not racing the country forward at that point.

5. Why the Eff should Beck Care? He lives in New York City

Con artist.

7. I thought he bought a mansion in Dallas.

6. And that's not all

Beck bemoaning, Perry's strategery backfiring, and...um...I forget what the third thing is.

Oops!

8. Fort worth and Outside of Houston need to be addressed and TX turns good blue

9. I thought Perry made this "offer" fairly recently

Has enough time passed where we can tell that there is a trend of business owners moving from CA to TX, and that they tend to vote blue?

10. Beck's been complaining about this for awhile

Texas has had an increase in Californians over the past decade.

I think they're part of the same groups that went to Las Vegas and Phoenix before the big recession in 2008. They came to Texas when jobs were declining in CA and employment was good in Texas.

11. Our state would still be going blue

In spite of Perry's strategy.

Its only a matter of time before we become a swing state!
