My default position is that if it was any less tragic, it wouldn't be funny, but there's something at work here that indicates we've reached a new level.
There's something in Carson's "performance" that tells me Cult45 not only has no respect for the concept of 3 co-equal branches of government, they hold a deep and abiding contempt for it - as well as for all of us who understand the need for Checks and Balances.
It's an illness - the need to spare no effort when trying "own the Libs" - this absolute imperative that says you have to hack off your own foot if "the other side" so much as hints at being in favor of toes.
Second, when Carson tries to crack wise with the Oreo bullshit, he's not just sneering at us. He's not just mocking Porter's intellect - btw, how totally ridiculous is it that an actual brain surgeon sits there basically slagging someone for being nerdily smart? - but he's telegraphing his ignorance of his own cultural roots from the 70s. If ever there was a black guy in USAmerica Inc who qualifies as an "Oreo", its Ben Carson - and it's like he has no fucking clue what it even means.
More than ever, I'm convinced there are people working diligently to kill this form of government.
These are not patriots looking to serve - they're Daddy State assholes who intend to rule.
