One can only hope

Darksyde writes in The Grand Unified Theory of Conservatism: Idiocracy:

At some point in the near future history of this great nation, “Republican” or “Conservative” might just become a generic insult synonymous with dipshit precisely because dangerously stupid has become the premier conservative governing philosophy: Shut up, don’t open emails, don’t read analyst reports, dismiss empirical evidence in favor of wishful thinking, keep your heads in the sand, and don’t strain your faith-based noggins worrying about stuff like some silly report back in August 2001 that might say Bin Laden determined to strike in the US until it’s too late.

Nothing, I think, could raise the level of political discourse in the United States than the marginalization of the extremist right. Alas, it’s not likely to happen any time soon.
