Republican ideology is dead. It died tonight by suicide.

By dubious means, Wisconsin’s Republicans just passed a law forbidding collective bargaining. If the law is just and needed, why the stupid parliamentary tricks? Why pull shenanigans to sneak it through?

The outcome in Wisconsin only goes to prove how irretrievably stupid the Republican party has become. How could you look on the past few weeks and not see that this whole venture wasn’t unfathomably stupid? Do they not understand how quickly the political pendulum is going to swing left again for this exact reason? Do they not understand that when control swings left again, that the law will be immediately and forcibly overturned? Do they not understand that their efforts are transparently anti-middle class and how the Republican party is now to be fully cast in that light?

You have to be decidedly idiotic to act this tone-deaf. Either that or this is only the first in a series of non-democratic maneuvers that will result in the effort toward full autocratic governance by whomever is secretly leading the Republican party now.

We’ve all been exposed to what the right regard as liberal politics. Not a lot of people remember that there is a counterpart on the extreme right wing that is called radical politics. We live in an age now, where increasingly the right is dominated by radicals. These radicals are pulling the discourse so far to the right that the moderate is to find himself center-right in the balance. I am not so certain the term “moderate” defines me anymore. I can thank the Republican party for that.

They doubted the resolve of the working class people? Well, the hive has been kicked now. I hope they can run faster than their fat, white asses would suggest.

I am done with moderation. I am a Democrat now. And if the pendulum is to swing, I will be pushing as hard to the left as I am capable. I have always wished to conduct myself without a bearing of political immodesty, trying to remain sensitive to those who regard themselves as fiscally conservative. After all, there is good sense in saving for a rainy day. But this is the end of that — the modern “conservative” notion is that we spend all of our money on the rich, while it is fiscally irresponsible to take care of the shrinking middle class or the aging and infirm. It is apparent that the conservative position is that of aggressive seizing of cash. I mean, its always been sort of obvious, but now the greedy are using both hands and a bulldozer.

So if this is the moment where the Republican party irretrievably cedes claim to being a protector of the working man and woman, of looking after the children of America, then I am to take them at their word, and there can be no posturing that will lead me back to their side.

I will see the Republican party disbanded and forgotten before I ever vote for a Republican again.
