From another paragraph that hits home:<br /><br /><i>"Fascism may have appealed to the economically insecure, but it did not appeal by giving them an economic answer. It appealed by giving them an enemy. As in France, or throughout Europe now, the extreme right flourishes not because there is insecurity but because they have an answer for insecurity: blame the Muslims (they’ve also blamed the Jews, though they’re quieter about that right now). Or: blame the Muslims and the Mexicans."</i><br /><br />The Republican party overtly courted racists and extremists: the poster boy enemy that the Republican party created in 2009 was President Obama. He is their villain. "He's so divisive" is their clarion call to them: "It's Obama, stupid. He's the reason for what ails you and us." They confirmed Obama's illegitimacy with their obstructionism, demonstrating their support for them. The party has no excuse for what is happening.Dr Strangelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14603758423399991937noreply@blogger.com
