It is no secret that we, here on DisPol, are not all that
fond of the rank and file Republicans. “We
see” mentally “dead people” out there, raising political hell, and we are
concerned. We feel totally justified in our
concern and can present case after case of what we (and the media) see as the systematic
crumbling of American democracy. Like
the religious eat, drink and sleep their religions, we here do the same with our
politics. Let’s face it, we’re just as
fanatical. We’re here virtually every
day, investigating and showcasing what we see as political trouble/shenanigans. BUT…
Out there in the real world, I have to wonder if the rest of
the people (you know, “the real people” as Jack Nicholson called them in Cuckoo’s
Nest) are all that taken in by what we here see as the blatant and
nefarious shenanigans of the Republican Party.
Are we really in as dire shape, politically, as we think we are?
Questions: What do you think? Do we overreact around here? Or, is democracy indeed on the verge of
falling and Everyman’s hair should be on fire?
Make your for/against case.
Thanks for posting and recommending.
