The Parable of the Bullshit and the Fan
Over the next day or few days, it is going to be dangerously yet gloriously entertaining to watch as the self-delusional rhetoric of the Tea Partiers hits the hard spinning blades on the fan of reality when the country either goes over into the abyss or they are forced to cower away from their threats by their own splintering party. They have for so long fed their belief that any crazy, made-up nonsense that pops into their blinkered minds exists as truth as long as it supports the internal narrative of their cult. One of them utters some BS. Then they all repeat the BS. Then it becomes a thing in itself, and in doing so is magically transformed into reality, an alternate reality that gathers gravitas in their echo chambers and then sounds an audience looking for anything to dump into their bucket of displaced white anger.
Kenyan and Marxist and Muslim and vaginal ultrasound and climate change hoax and death panels and the black guy shut down the government and kept our veterans out of their own memorials (not us because we're all in agreement here that we're inflicting this upon ourselves for a mutual pact of hate for that guy we all agree is the antichrist). They aren't just now taking America hostage with shutdown and default. They have held us hostage for years with their delusions. Their madness. Adolescent Salem girls seeing witchery in every fantasized turn. The Tea Party has been speaking in tongues otherwise known as gibberish as a matter of conduct for years. One, because it supports the totalism of and membership in their cult -- it is an act of purification. The real believers will commit to anything. And two, precisely because it is nonsense and nonsense creates a wall of noise known as obstruction.
But now, the ultimate shit-storm lie that shutdown and default will have little if any effect and will really be a big dose of good (even though it is really Obama who is causing this), is about to hit those rotors of reality. The Republican polls have already fallen. The markets will be next. And then, their pants will fall, and the would-be emperors will be caught standing naked in the Capitol while still complimenting each other on the fine cut of their inseams, wondering why America has finally realized the enemy within and sent them and their Republican brand into long and deserved exile.
Because now we know. They said they set out with one mission. To destroy Obama. But all along, they were attacking us, all of us. And their BS is finally, penultimately, gratefully about to hit the fan.
