I’ve always felt, right or wrong, that electing Obama was the flashpoint for how unmoderated the right has become; basically, we elected a black person to the highest position in America, and it caused the right to show their true colors. I genuinely feel that if we elected anyone else (that was white), things would be completely different right now.
That said, now that we have another candidate of color, and a woman to boot, the right is experiencing the same emotions they felt when we elected Obama. And frankly, I hope it causes their heads to explode.
(Personally, I’m a little on the fence about the switching of candidates so close to the election. I admit that I’ve never been one to embrace change easily. But the more I see these fools bitch and moan like they have been, the more confident I am becoming in the decision.)
