That's a polite word for it. It's more than alarming that some people actually take this bullshit to be *reality*, though.
It disconcerts me how the Republicans are already scheming out their plan of "attack" to take back power, before Obama has even been sworn in. As if this country has nothing better to do than sit through another 2+ years of clusterfucked campaigning between The Two Parties, and actually convince themselves that this is how Things Should Always Be. As if no one else in this country cares about actually working TOGETHER, and not alienating the other party (in the way that Bush's 8 years have done) and everyone else. It sickens me.
It's so difficult to imagine how the US is going to evolve into a system that has more to offer its citizens. I look around here at the Icelandic 6-party system (in a nation of 300,000 people), and stand amazed that it has been able to come up with this in just 64 years as an independent nation. There are a lot of things wrong with Iceland, but I believe that their more diverse political system has many lessons for us as Americans.
