It’s all the Establishment’s fault, Rich explains:
“Few politicians in memory have so powerfully tapped into and expressed the conservative id, which has long yearned for a Republican politician willing to heap the verbal abuse on the Clintons and, especially, on the media that they so manifestly deserve.
“Except on cable and talk radio, the conservative id tends to get smothered by the hated Republican superego, i.e., “the establishment” of campaign consultants, donors, and opinion-makers who worry about things like propriety and scaring off swing voters.”
Well, that’s almost accurate, Rich, if you ignore the fact that Sarah Palin has been making a living for the past eight years pissing on the lamestream media, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, that New Gingrich spent the entire 2012 Republican Primary Campaign pissing on the media, that such vicious right-wing sites like the Drudge Report and Red State infest the Internet, that Fox News serves as a highly successful counterweight to those wicked folks on the “legacy” networks, that the entire “Tea Party” explosion for the past six years has been one prolonged orgy of the Republican id, or that for the same length of time the entire Republican Congress has been little more than a mob howling for the blood of President Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Donald Trump hasn’t released the Republican id, Rich; he’s simply taken its oafish tribalism to a new level, to the extent that those Republicans like you who still retain an ounce of decency can’t take it any more. The sad thing is, you have so little company.
