Apart from giving us all wedgies, and making us want to do it to them, Republicans are the people of division and polarization. It didn't just happen. Many foresaw it. Not many enough, looking back at Bush, who proved himself a lying warmonger before being reelected.
I saw it. Does it make you fell smart? No, it makes you feel terrible. You behold it with incomprehension. Which I've felt since Reagan. A great communicator? I couldn't see it. A uniter and inspiring leader? You tell me. He was an actor. Playing a role. Hired by corporatists to advance their interests.
And we've never gotten past it. Some people saw it and still do. We should have listened.
