CNN: "It's Undeniable Now: The Republicans Are The Problem"

facepalm

To laugh? 

To cry?

One hardly knows which to do.

Are Mann and Ornstein still flogging that embarrassingly ridiculous bullshit about the Republicans being the source of polarization? I mean...ten years ago that still seemed plausible. I think it was still plausible maybe up to...well...I guess I'd say 2012. It seemed obviously true back during the Gingrich and neo-con eras... I'd certainly have bet money on it back then.

   Now it's...just flat-out stupid.

   It's almost worth watching the little CNN video...at least partway through. I had to stop. Just too much cringe. Here are some of the things that the little CNN guy lists as Things The Prove The Undeniability Of GOP Wrongness:

They're anti-immigration.

Climate-change!!!1111

Russiagate. 

The Access Hollywood tape / Trump sexual harassment.   

Of course none of these is even vaguely right.

How many times do these things have to be said?

Being opposed to massive waves of illegal immigration =/= anti-immigration.

It is the left, not the GOP, that lives in a fantasy world about climate change.

Rooskies!!! Under my bed!!! But...but...THE SSCI report!!!! 

   All of this nonsense has been as thoroughly refuted as anything in this area can be.

   As for the Access Hollywood tape...since they're still talking about that thing: Trump isn't describing sexual harassment. He's saying that a fair number of women are receptive to high degrees of sexual assertiveness if you're a billionaire. Gasp! If this revelation rocks your world...I dunno what to tell you, my friend. All sorts of people are receptive to high degrees of sexual assertiveness whether you're a billionaire or not. We've got to hear a non-stop flood of lefties talking about their strange sexual predilections...but this well-established fact about human sexuality...somehow this strikes progressives as so unthinkable that it must be rape... 

   But progressivism isn't content being wrong about every single thing on its list of why the GOP is the problem...every single one... It actually goes meta and uses this list of shit its wrong about as premises in an argument for the conclusion that THE GOP IS THE PROBLEM...

   I've got news for you assholes: the GOP is not the problem.

   Oh...it's a problem. 

   But it's nowhere close to being the problem. 

   Q is a fringe nonsense. Climate apocalypticism is remaking the nation and much of the world. The January 6th Capitol riot was a repulsive insult to the nation. But it wasn't an "insurrection." It's being distorted by the Dems for political gain. That cynical horseshit is itself an insult to the country...but it's the GOP that's the problem! They refuse to admit that a handful of Q-tards high on paint-chips was not a serious effort at armed rebellion. 

   Of course Trump himself...he counts heavily against the Pubs. But so much of that is mitigated by the fact that the left has lost its mind, and the Pubs tend to just go along with it...and only Trump was standing athwart history yelling MAGA...

   When you're the problem...and, in addition to being the problem, you're shrieking to the world that they other guys are the problem...dude... You are in a bad way. You've gone over the edge. It's not hopeless for you, I guess...but you should have turned your ass around years ago. At this point, I'm afraid that ain't going to be easy to do.
