From a mass-psychological standpoint.
It really is inevitable that this is happening. Of course we couldn't predict the specifics, but this downward spiral is really maxing out for them (the repubs, teabaggers, and all who aid and abet). They do this to themselves, since they are a mob now acting wholly based on twisted, irrational, paranoid thoughts.
Any one person that any of us might personally know who *ever* acted in such ways would certainly be someone we wouldn't want to encourage. That would be clear and we'd respond to protect ourselves --draw and enforce boundaries--sooner hopefully rather than later.
But when it's happening on a massive social level, the objective understanding comes in different ways and different times to each individual. Now it's actually a good thing they've been ABLE to devolve so relentlessly, although they've also taken so many down with them. People who don't and never did deserve it.
But this is also WHY and HOW they've earned such universal contempt:
Because they have earned it.
Of COURSE they're finally exploding spectacularly!
Thankfully, it also means that due to ALL the different events happening, more people will see the light, so to speak. That's actually good. That's the only way massive inner change can happen to the most people possible as quickly as possible. Basically, many individuals have to decide, really, how they will think and whether they should start coming out of denial. And due to circumstances on a global level, we all are being forced to "decide" whether we'll DEVOLVE or EVOLVE!
Just some late night thoughts before turning in for the night....

Nutfuckery is not fun to analyze. It hurts my eyes and my brain and my stomach to look at such.

I hope that now is that time!
