The Coming Purge



And we thought the Tea Party was bad?  We ain't seen nothin' yet, bubba.

McKay Coppins, in The Atlantic:
“The question is not whether he’s vengeful,” conservative columnist Ben Shapiro told me. “The question is how willing he is to use the levers of government to exact that revenge.”
He goes on to talk about Glen Beck, and his paranoia, and his worry that people have taken what he said too seriously.

This isn't a fucking game.  "The Left" has been trying to warn those idiots for a good long time that they're playing with a loaded gun.

These assholes spent almost 30 years taking a giant shit in their audiences' brains and now they fret because people have done exactly what people do - they came to believe what they were told every day by somebody speaking in a confident authoritative tone.

You can see it every day in the comments sections and on Facebook etc. The arrogance of deliberate ignorance is tough and fibrous and persistent and malignant.
