Stepping Aside
by tristero
What is most striking about this article is not that Republicans have finally understood that possibly, maybe, Obama actually won. It’s their lack of self-examination.
While I’ve certainly met Republicans who deplore the clownish antics of the leaders, I see no indication that, as a party, they recognize how essential it is for them to re-examine their commitment to deep economic inequality, the promiscuous spread of assault weapons, forced birth, denial of basic science, deportation, trash-talking minorities, and the rape of the environment.
These are really awful ideas, and even now, Republican leaders can’t bring themselves to drop them. Assuming the article is accurate, they’re simply planning to get the hell out of the way.
Well, I can live with that.
