I’ve been paying close attention to elections since I was in high school (so figure around the 2000 election) and I can tell you with no uncertain terms that the current Republican primary is the most bizarre election cycle I’ve ever seen.
Ben Carson is trying to convince people he did stab a guy while his opponents are trying to convince people he never did. That’s the opposite of what’s supposed to happen. Oh and then he set off a discussion over what the pyramids were for. He claims they were grain silos, and no one brought up the fact that THE PYRAMIDS AREN’T FUCKING HOLLOW. THERE ARE TWO BURIAL CHAMBERS IN THERE AND THE REST IS SOLID STONE.
And pundits decided to ask every candidate if they would kill baby Hitler if they had a time machine. Like really with a straight face they ask candidates for the presidency of the United States how they would use a time machine to stop Hitler. The war in Afghanistan is in its 13th year and greenhouse gases are microwaving the Earth but the media is asking questions about time travel and the consequences thereof.
It’s died down now, but for a week there was a whole discussion over whether Carly Fiorina smiles enough.
And when Donald Trump decides to ban all Muslims from the country, suddenly it’s on us to come up with arguments as to why that’s a bad idea, because “this is fucking America” apparently isn’t a good enough reason anymore. 3 weeks ago his whole campaign was about Mexicans and now they never come up anymore because we’ve all accepted that his campaign is about pure White id and not any real policy plans.
And now Donald Trump said he wants to talk to Bill Gates about “closing the internet.” And Hillary was asked for her plans to close down the internet as if this was a real thing that could happen. Bill Gates is apparently being tapped because as we all know he is the king of Computer Land and controls the internet.
The RNC is trying to tank the leading candidate of their own party, so much so that some have suggested forcibly nominating the loser of the last election.
Every election season has pundits bemoaning how the process has become a circus but this is beyond the pale. The animals have taken over the zoo.
