We hold these truths to be sooo, like, obvious ‘n’ stuff
The reason the radical right operates like a finely-oiled machine is because its members are fueled by fear. Fear is a reaction more than a feeling, the impetus for the fight or flight instinct in most all living species.
It is not, however, the way to run a country.
Would the liberal left side be more effective if we too wrote hundreds of letters and emails anytime some boorish aristo-republican bullhorn bleated his shithead bigoted views on air? Perhaps. But we have a basic sense of what is right, and can’t help but think, How can anyone believe this crap for real?
On a completely unrelated topic, anyone looking to learn English as a second language needs to do so in England, and England alone. Why not hear it straight from the horse’s mouth, so to speak? ESL speakers who learn the language in England automatically get a few extra IQ points simply for having command of certain non-colloquial polysyllabic words and phrases that your average American couldn’t fart out to save his life. Got bless Ameriscia.
