It's still eight months till Election Day, but we cats are already tired of politicians and punditheads speaking darkly of the anger that's afoot in our fair land. The Washington Post is so concerned about it that they've posted a curiously mistimed series called "Looking for America." And washed-up candidates like Baby Marco Rubio are saying other silly things, like "America is in the middle of a real political storm, a real tsunami and we should have seen this coming."
Um, no, Baby Marco. Your party is having the so-called storm, thank you very much. And even though Bernie Sanders has made a hit with young voters who are concerned about job opportunities and college tuition, you really need to leave us Democrats out of it — because it's the Republicans who are being riven by the anger, not us.
So it's kinda amazing that we Americans who are pleased with the accomplishments of the Obama Administration — who are glad that the country was rescued from a Bush-created economic catastrophe, that 20 million of our fellow citizens have health insurance now, or that our LGBT friends can marry the people they love — always get roped in when clueless officeholders and TV talking heads try to explain The Trump Thing.
Because, you see, it's pretty simple: The GOP has ridden the tiger of gun-loving, women-hating, gay-loathing, right-wing racism for so long that it's finally caught up with them, and they're about to end up inside.
Fasten your seat belts, America: We don't often get to witness a true partisan realignment like this. But the key word here is "witness": The Republican Party is the one splintering from resentful white rage. We cats prefer sunny ways. And we PURR.
