Who Are the Angriest Republicans?

[Torie]

This New York Times piece quotes this NRO guy, Kevin Williamson, who writes the most perfervid and hyperbolic lash out at the white working and underclass, which he perceives as Trump's base, that I have ever read. Man, oh man! It's a veritable jeremiad against them.

Folks are really, really overwrought this election season. Yes, it's all horrible, I agree, but at some point one needs to just chill a bit. This kind of rhetoric is not helpful in trying to intelligently address what ails in this country. Williamson's prescription is that he want these downscale opiate addicted communities (yes he goes there too) to literally "die" and empty out, leaving an array of ghost towns. He says they treat their children like stray dogs. Kevin baby, just take a toke and chill, and please make some modest effort to view these folks as human. Thanks.

The vitriol being spewed by many in the media, both on the right and the left, is truly disturbing. The days of having a civil discussion on a political topic seem a distant memory. While I don't think the Republicans have a monopoly on anger, I do think that the general public is completely fed up with "business as usual" politics. What impact that anger has on the election this cycle remains to be seen.
