Ever notice how the GOP is the party of misanthropes? Really! You just need to look at this weekend's events to know that if you're a human and you're reading this, Republicans really don't like you.
First, there's that secretive Koch confab out in California, where the billionaire brothers will decide which Republican to throw their unending dollars behind so that they can dismantle unions, squash the minimum wage, and make the planet uninhabitable for everybody.
It's mostly establishment guys who are parading around for the Kochs, like some sort of twisted beauty pageant which nobody with a bank account under a zil (give or take a zil) is invited to judge. Public and press are not allowed, but we're sure there will be a lot of resentful talk about Willard Mitt Romney's despicable 47 percent.
Then there's the KKK rally in Iowa that Steve King is hosting (and Citizens United is sponsoring). This is where passengers of earlier Republican clown cars — plus some new additions — are gathering to roll out their 2016 model, and where presumably they'll all rail against immigrants, women who want reproductive rights, gay people and Americans who are getting health insurance for the first time in their lives. (The cross-eyed college dropout Scott Walker is speaking even as we write this.)
Underlying both of these events is unbridled anger and a deep contempt — not just for the American electoral process, but for the citizens who dare to take part in it. Thanks for nothing, United States Supreme Court, for making it all possible. We cats HISS.
