rebuked...

Kind of scary though, considering where that Party is going and where majority sentiment of the base increasingly lies at... Abe Lincoln be rolling in his grave.

For years, the Randians thought the GOP base agreed with their fiscal ideals so they tolerated their racism and even threw them the occasional bone. Then Trump came along and served up nothing but the racism and the base went wild! Now the GOP has to face the fact that it was never about fiscal conservatism, hell, it was never even about social conservatism. It was always entirely about the racism.

I think we should start referring to the right as the alt-right, the way we use to refer to the right as neo-cons. When I first heard that the white supremacists were calling themselves the "alt-right" I was bothered by it because it was like they were trying to make their racism "hip." Now, I like the term because it at least acknowledges that this racist ideology is owned by the right.
