Flying Their Freak Flags – Digby's Hullabaloo

And embracing the darkness

Pundits: Trump voters support him because they’ve lost faith in meritocracy/our institutions

Pundits: It’s the meritocracy, right?

Yes, there’s more.

They don’t read little red books. They wear little red hats. They want to obey he who is their retribution. They Live!

Update: Found a gag reel, and not in the humor sense.

🚨This is ALARMING:

This is why we can't take voting for granted.
