Imagine this, Republicans ...

[NanceGreggs]

While on the campaign trail back in 2008, Barack Obama mis-spoke when he referred to visiting 57 states, when he clearly meant 47. You tried your best to spin an obvious mis-speak into claims that Obama didn’t know how many states there are – a meme that only the brain-dead among your ‘base’ even tried to push, and the whole thing fizzled-out like a 4th of July sparkler during a speech about how the Revolutionary War was won by shutting down the airports in 1775

Now, imagine this, Republicans.

Imagine that immediately following Obama’s 57-state gaffe, he went before the nation with a map of the US on which he had added seven additional states with a black Sharpie. Then imagine him spending an entire week tweeting about how he’d been right all along, and only the ‘fake news’ was denying that there were indeed 57 states – just as he’d said.

I’m sure you’d agree that Obama would have looked incredibly stupid, ludicrous, ridiculous – a petty, self-absorbed idiot who was totally unhinged, and completely divorced from reality.

Well, guys – guess what? That is exactly how your “pResident” looks right now – not only in front of the country, but in front of the whole world.

I’ve always anxiously anticipated the demise of the Republican party – but I never thought that global humiliation would be the fatal blow. Any support you show for this madman will now be seen for what it is – enabling a “pResident” who is obviously deranged.

I truly feel like I live in an insane twilight zone episode that never stops. It's insane how this crap from this so called administration continuously keeps repeating itself. When will his supporters wake up and and see the evidence that's right in front of them?


There are days I just want to scream.

5. Every day I want to scream.

It really does feel like a never-ending Twilight Zone episode. You have described it perfectly. It is maddening. It makes you question your own sanity. I keep telling myself, "this can't be happening, there is no sane existence in which this could really be happening." Yet it is happening.

I know that it must come to an end someday, but I can't see it and it fills me with despair.

6. Thank you, SM

It seems that I'm right there with you in feeling this way. On the days that I want to scream, what I really want to scream is, "When will this insanity end?" I keep hanging in there to the best of my ability and visiting DU helps me to keep hanging there.

Did you ever watch Fawly Towers, Nance? Basil would FUBAR just about everything he touched but was utterly compelled to lie about it, only to dig himself deeper into a hole.
