— Chase Madar (@ChMadar) October 29, 2015Postwar GOP has always depended on a plutocratic minority and resentful/defensive white majority coalition based in deceptions. 1 @ChMadar
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 29, 2015Frowny-faced Nixonian/smiley-faced Reaganomic variations exposed the utter cynicism and opportunistic force of these deceptions. 2 @ChMadar
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 29, 2015This coalition and the deceptions enabling it are stressed beyond bearing by climate change/financial disaster and US diversity. 3 @ChMadar
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 29, 2015What has always been a politics of the (plutocratic) deception of the already deceived (fearful assholes) is now exacerbated. 4 @ChMadar
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 29, 2015Today's anti-intellectualism in the US GOP is a poison broth of deliberately evil deceptions and desperately insane denialisms. 5 @ChMadar
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 29, 2015It is more a counter-knowledge than an anti-knowledge, and ignorance doesn't really get to the root of it. 6 @ChMadar
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 29, 2015All knowledge, even that I approve, requires selective attention and making in which active ignoring at real cost plays a part. 7 @ChMadar
— Dale Carrico (@dalecarrico) October 29, 2015I think anti-intellectualism is more about a denial of these costs and that denial is born in the same fear that feeds reaction. 8 @ChMadar
