THE PROPAGANDA EDITION: ISSUE 67, VOLUME 97
THE AMERICAN IDIOT
by Malik Isasis
Tax day has come and gone and so has the Republicans' road show of rightwing, separatists, secessionists, racists, and all around dumbasses who’ve mustered in the hundreds to protest Obama’s taxation, which happens to cut taxes for 95% of the working people. Paul Krugman, NYT liberal columnist and economist referred to the so-called “Tea Parties” as an Astroturf movement, fake because unlike a grassroots movement, the so-called tea parties were developed by Republican operatives and their very rich founders—top down, rather than bottom up.
Fresh out of ideas since 30 years, or a generation ago, Republicans have come to represent a party that has become exceptional at the perpetual campaign, stoking the hatred in the lowest common denominator of the population (about a 33%) through the extensive web of its echo chamber, talk radio, and Fox News, and planted political operatives in the mainstream media who proudly carry their message.
Since the Great Depression, Republicans have shown that they’re utterly incompetent in governance, which is known as the Peter Principle, being advance or promoted to a job for which they are unable to accomplish due to incompetence.
Nearly 12 weeks into their congressional and presidential loss, the Republicans have loss their fucking minds.
During no other time are white working class voters more important than every election cycle, which seems all the time for Republicans. When the election cycles passes, the Working Class Voters® are tossed into the trash like a used condom. Where were the Tea Parties when Bush was in office?
Nearly all of the people protesting taxes at these tea parties were the face of the Republican Party, white and angry.
It doesn’t matter that Republicans have wrought them more poverty through policies that have moved their manufacturing jobs overseas, broken up unions, increased their cost of living by outsourcing the United States government to private contractors…oh, and sending your children, husbands, wives, brothers and sisters off to fight corporate wars. What do you think of that Working Class Voters®? I know none of that matters so as long as you’re white, you all right…right? Right on. You’ve been convinced to vote against your own interests. Keep on being white, broke and dead.
I think Jon Stewart illustrates the cognitive dissonance best:
