The Republican Implosion Myth: How Republicans Are Winning
Truthout / ArtVoice
(2012)
Abstract
Fidel Castro dubbed this year’s Republican primary as the “greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance the world has ever seen.” We as a nation gave him that line by allowing our political culture to surrealistically descend to the level of a reality television show where angry kindergarten bullies magically sprout middle-aged bodies, stuff them into bad suits, and get to run for president of the United States. It would all be cryptically humorous, save for the fact that it’s real.
