Remember that an American is a person who thinks that they have a God given right to be delusional
Right now a lot of people who wouldn't know a clue even if they passed it like a gallstone are predicting what's going to happen in the next two years.
All of those people are full of bullshit, because no one knows what's going to happen in the next two years. You'll know even less if you're depending on the people in government who are telling you what they're going to be doing in the next two years, only because politicians rarely say what's really on their minds in public.
At least the smart ones never tell... The morons, however, are very, very generous with their thoughts. Which is one thing i love about those fools; no matter how little they have, they're always willing to give. But despite the fact that morons are candid, even their colleagues think they're fucking stupid.
People are inherently focused on whatever they're invested in and are driven to maintain those investments, no matter how narrowly focused. The narrower the focus, the greater degree of investment and the higher the risks if that investment fails.
This behavior forces people into thinking what they're hoping will happen is going to happen, even if it doesn't. Although delusional thinking is bipartisan, our friends on the right are particularly susceptible because they rely on projection, transference and outright hypocrisy to compensate for their utter lack of any hold on reality.
Remember, that these aren't people who define themselves by what they're for. They define themselves by what they self-righteously stand against. Which basically means that they can inflict chaos and failure on the world around themselves and justify it by deluding themselves into thinking that they're doing the right thing. If they feel any suffering, they're quick to blame others, usually the very same people who are trying to help them, i.e., liberals. They consider all of that to be a God-given right.
The hardest thing for a liberal to do is to watch someone else suffer. That's our Achilles Heel.
You may not want to hear this, but I think that the Right needs to face the consequences of their own delusions. We've been spending too much time and effort trying to pull their fat out of the fire, and I'm pretty much fed up with it. It's time to inflict some good old fashioned gridlock. Now I'm not saying that it will happen, but I think that we should put the primary focus on putting our own houses together, instead of dealing with the morons. Gridlock will allow us to do that.
Next, we needs to reexamine our own investments, the first one being to stop trying to save the right. There is no saving the Right, they are doomed. The Right's strategy to shift wealth in an upward fashion and destroy upward mobility, by which we call "The American Dream," has made progress stagnant in this country.
We need to reject rehabilitating the Right, because all that's doing is making us shoot ourselves in the foot.
We're refusing to do what it takes to defeat them and we're preventing them from suffering the consequences of their own actions. What the fuck are we going to do? It's time to pick a side, our side.
Next, we need to prepare to engage them on all fronts. Do not concede anything. Even if we lose, we still would have forced them to spend capital that they would not have needed to spend while running unopposed. Consider that this will have cumulative affect and force them to shift resources and weaken stronger candidates where the can afford it.
Once we reengage the right, who would have not seen the benefit of trying to fruitlessly rehabilitate them, they should be weaker than ever.
Do you want to get back what you lost? Well, you have to want it and you're going to have to earn it.
No more Mister Nice Guy, people. It's time to play hardball.
