"the anti-partisan pundits are literally afraid of taking a position the way a person might be afraid of spilling red wine on a carpet"

This is just brilliant.

I still remains somewhat a mystery to me why so many right wing supporters knowingly and willingly accept that their candidate lies not only to the general public, but to them personally, and are fine with it. it can't really be that they embrace the chaos which will certainly ensue from having no policy issues whatsoever other than moving vast amounts of money, which could be used to improve their own relatively impoverished lives, upward to the obscenely wealthy class and therefore eternally unrecoverable.

can their learned detestation of all things vaguely scented with liberal odor be that strong? I suppose the answer to that must be yes, but such a nakedly self-abnegating position remains difficult for me to reconcile to myself. are they so content to wallow in their own shallow 'lives of quiet desperation just so that many others will be forced to lead similarly deprived existences? what a worldview! not to want a better life for yourself and you kin because others might partake of that same fruit.
