"the Republican Party has been the party of Donald Trump and Roy Moore for 30 years."

Yes, Charlie Pierce. So true.

This week has brought into sharp relief the consequences of the Russia-ratfcked, utterly racialized, hock-a-loogie decision that 63 million of our dimmer fellow citizens made to hand the presidency over to Donald Trump because they’d been fed indigestible fried crud by their favorite radio and television stars for the past three decades. When I hear Jeff Flake moaning that he doesn’t want the Republican Party to become “the party of Donald Trump and Roy Moore,” I am compelled to point out that the Republican Party has been the party of Donald Trump and Roy Moore for 30 years. It’s just been waiting for Donald Trump and Roy Moore to come along. It is to laugh, and then it is to weep.

We're seeing the same McCarthyite crap they gave us during the Red Scare, and the same racist crap from the Civil Rights movement, and the same war-mongering crap from the Nixon and Reagan Errors. The cockroaches are just back out feom their crevices again.
