I hope Schumer blocks Kavanaugh

Chuck Schumer is sitting on top of a seething mass of enraged goons, and his hands are tied.  I think he is politically smart enough to know that the Democrats are running a very real, very large risk of marginalizing themselves in a major way for a VERY long, but you can’t stop a boiling pot.  All these currents of rage and hatred and intolerance were stoked carefully for perhaps 4 decades, but kept below a simmer until the right time.  The right time was Obama, and all the stops were pulled out.   A perfect police state and propaganda operation were prepared, and awaited only Hillary’s anointing to bring to fruition.  Given that her election was a foregone conclusion, there was no reason not to fan the flames, no reason not to stoke anger, no reason not to take off the mask and show the fangs.

But then Trump happened.  You can’t just say “hey guys, all that stuff we said that made you mad, well you need to not think about it for a couple years while we work on getting our people back in control.”  So it’s an out of control train that has left the tracks.  It has a ton of energy, but nobody can direct it, and nobody knows where it is going.

So Trump just has to sit back and say “hey, this guy is reasonable.  There’s no reason other than partisan politics for the SAKE of partisan politics not to confirm him.”  And if the Dems STILL won’t do it, it helps our overall cause, and as I said, Trump can pull Kavanaugh and put someone farther to the right in January, if Republicans are able to take advantage of the anti-lunatic tide which seems to be coming in.

I’ll find other things to be upset about, no doubt, but them fighting Kavanaugh is not one of them.

I will wonder out loud again if this fire will not consume the lion’s share of the moderates in the Democrat party, leaving them lifeless on a national level. One can hope.  And the funny thing is: nobody can stop it, even if that is true.  The New York Times posted an editorial saying to tone things down for the mid-terms: they got a dose of their own hate for it, or so I read.

Any Cassandra’s in their midst would do well to be worried.  But nobody listened to Cassandra, did they?
