    March to Restore Sanity

    That was on my mind too. Libs live in a fantasyland that gets more and more elaborate as they convince themselves that the old days were so much better and it would be great if we could get back to that.

    The other day I heard a MNSBC talking head named Elie Mystal actually say something like “We need a strong republican party.” What made it especially galling for me is that Mystal one of their legal experts who is by far the strongest, harshest critic of GOP justices on the supreme court. If he was just a tiny bit more bitter - he’d lose his MSNBC gig forever. Yet he’s such a boneheaded institutionalist - he can’t help but defend a system and a court that’s nearly guaranteed to get more and more reactionary over time.

    Mystal - like a typical lib - must make daily efforts to pretend he GOP was good before Trump showed up. Such libs must force away the reality that “good” republicans like the ex-president war criminal Dubya worked hard behind the scenes to put people like Kavanaugh on the court. And - of course - the GOP has wanted to kill Roe for decades.
