Purity

The GOTP play book is brimming with exclusion, division, and hatred. We are seeing some very scary and dangerous ideas fomenting out there. When the tactics get this ugly, people get hurt or worse.

The radical religious right front has taken the tact of attacking gay people. They are upping the ante lately by now calling for the execution of gay people. Last week recall it was simply to corral gay people and drop food in till all gay people died out, except of course for the new gay people born outside of the corral. I suspect they would have to be later identified and then dropped in. Ah yes, now I remember, gay people are not born gay, they are corrupted into gayness through other gay people and a Nazi president.

The radical Tea Party right is taking the tact of escalating "birtherism." One also suspects this is simply Trump's maladjusted way of garnering attention. Either way Trump's conduit to Romney is about as near and dear as it gets in American politics plus the traction and media attention Trump is generating is undeniable. Exactly how low in priority do the very real and important topics and policy issues have to sink so that someone as insignificant and screwy as Trump can control the MSM's cycle.
