‘Riling Up the Crazies’

By Maureen Dowd

Opinion Columnist

    Oct. 27, 2018

WASHINGTON — As long as I’ve covered politics, Republicans have been trying to scare me.

Sometimes, it has been about gays and transgender people and uppity women looming, but usually it has been about people with darker skin looming.

They’re coming, always coming, to take things and change things and hurt people.

A Democratic president coined the expression, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” But it was Republicans who flipped the sentiment and turned it into a powerful and remorseless campaign ethos: Make voters fear fear itself.

President Trump was relieved when the F.B.I. arrested a bomb suspect — a racist, homophobic, roid-raging, strip-club-loving, MAGA-worshiping Florida man who was living in a van that looked like a decoupage of Fox News propaganda.

I used to be married to a guy who did that very thing in our marriage.  I guess I was the enemy.

Oh yes, right - Republicans are always coming to take things and change things and hurt people:









More of Satan's tactic of accusing your targets of that which you, yourself are doing and promoting Maureen.  SHOVE YOUR SENTIMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE BULLSHIT!

That's one of many ways "am married to..." becomes "used to be married to..."
