And it's already started...

[MrScorpio]

The winger groundlings are restless with their newly minted con man in chief. You can thank Slug Gingrich for causing a backlash against the illegitimate con man after he blatantly admitted than the "swamp" isn't going to be drained.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

In response, the visceral reaction in New Trumpanistan is to blame his election on, now hold on to your bloomers... the DEMOCRATS.

You heard that right, according to those brain donors, Democrats elected Cheetolini Pussygrabber, lock, stock and whisky barrel.

For a while there I was wondering to what extent the RWNJs were willing to fall, in order to satisfy their obsession to deny reality and live in a faith-based alternate universe of their own making. Stretching the limits of rationality is an exercise in which they excel, but you would think that the realization that they've conned themselves would eventually set in, right?

No, ladies and germs, it seems that their penchant for self-delusion has no limit. None... Zip... NADA! It's as boundless as the borders of space and time.

AS a matter of fact, as the Republican Party and their titular, stubby fingered imbecile are busy running the country into the ground, it's quite clear that the red hats are going to respond by believing that running the country into the ground is all fine and dandy, while rewarding those same GOPrs with even more votes.

Because, if serial arson doesn't bring back jobs, we should all just drop fire bombs on the old growth brush and tinder to do the trick, right?

Thanks, America... We're now the stupid country.

1. I love that phrase "brain donors"! nt

[Cracklin Charlie]

2. I had this feeling yesterday...

That this was going to happen. Of course, it will come back to blaming Obama.

It's all they've got.

3. Admitting error on anything is a Cardinal Sin on Planet RepubliCON.

A precedent set by one Karl Rove.

Sadly, these guys promise to make Rove look like a boy scout in comparison.

15. Honestly, it's not just Republicans

It's pretty much humans. People don't like to admit they were wrong. They would rather play the blame game. They would rather point out the single flaw in one thing to justify choosing another thing that was full of flaws.

[baldguy]

4. To be fair, America was always a stupid country.

It's just that up until recently we didn't let the stupids run the place.

[Va Lefty]

5. Excellent point!

[MrScorpio]

6. Damn skippy!

It's just that now, we don't have any excuses.

[NewJeffCT]

10. the country has had an anti-intellectual streak for a long time

In the 1950s, Eisenhower ran against the elites and intellectuals like Adlai Stevenson. And, when a woman told Stevenson that she liked him a lot and that he would have the vote of every thinking person, his classic response was something like, "That's not enough, ma'am, I need a majority!"

However, Eisenhower was a West Point graduate and was the general of the Allied Forces in Europe in World War 2. So, he had real achievements under his belt beyond multiple bankruptcies and ripping off the little guys.

[Nay]

14. Damn right! And we didn't let them have 24/7 media platforms to spew their shit to make more

stupid people. Now we've got a BIIIIIG problem.

[Cryptoad]

7. Fret Not!

After we make the rest of World stupid, everythang will be Otay!

[Vinca]

8. Well . . . duh . . . we all know everything is Obama's fault.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Alternate universe

11. Isaac Asimov quote 1980: The Cult of Ignorance

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

[mreilly]

12. These are people insisting there's "no evidence the Russians manipulated the election"

... but meanwhile they screeched thoroughly-debunked nonsense about Benghazi, uranium sales, the Clinton Foundation, you name it - all for years. No evidence need apply; they just make up their own!

Nasty, nasty people.

[AgadorSparticus]

13. I don't understand the mindless drones. It is almost like they are under hypnosis

...only that would make sense. People can't be THIS stupid. I know some of these red hats and if you talk to them about any other subject, some of them can actually complete a sentence. But today's idiocy has reached new territory.

I miss the days of the old Republicans where you can discuss things in a rational manner. And even if you disagree on how to go about things, at the core, you know you want the same things. I miss those Republicans.

The stuff I see today, I am not even sure they are even human. Violent flat earthers who deny facts and reality. Sickens me.

16. It was HRC's responsibility to keep the country from going to hell

If the Dems couldn't beat such a clearly incompetent a**hole, then who else should get the blame?

In the RW, alt-right universe, they can't be blamed if someone didn't take the gun out of their hand before they pulled the trigger. We knew they were stupid, why didn't we stop them?
