... is absolutely brilliant! She distills complex issues into easy-to-understand, point by point explanations of how Republicans are fucking over their own constituencies – AGAIN, all so billionaires can get another tax break that they don't need, and that they sure as hell don't deserve.
How do these evil sonzabitches keep getting reelected if they're screwing people? Biggest reason: Gerrymandering. A despicable scheme that should have been outlawed 200 years ago. Another reason is, that by concentrating Republican voting blocs into grotesquely convoluted districts, they are also concentrating room-temperature IQs that are more than happy to vote against their own best interests as long as they "git over on alla dem libruls". Sadly, even when they find themselves deprived of benefits that Liberals instituted, and Republicans just yanked out from under them, they're so thoroughly brainwashed that they still regurgitate a verbal vomit of lies and distortions that they were spoon-fed by the very Republicans that just fucked them over.
As that esteemed philosopher, Ron White, so sagely observed, ya can't fix stupid.
And to Leigh McGowan: You're the best! Keep it up!
