More pathetic vitriol from the left.
Via Newsbusters:
The headline referred to “partisan asymmetry in motivated cognition,” but in his Thursday blog post on the Washington Monthly’s web site, Mark Kleiman said it in a more colloquial way: Republicans are “radically more detached from reality” than Democrats.
Kleiman, a professor of public policy at UCLA, asserted that for the GOP, “the fringe has become the base,” and that America would benefit from “a series of devastating electoral defeats for the Republicans sufficient to shock them back into contact with consensus reality.”
From Kleiman’s post:
“No patriotic American should be pleased that our republic no longer has two political parties either of which can be safely entrusted with the task of governing. But wishing that fact away will not make it disappear. What the republic needs right now is a public awareness of how sick and twisted the Red team actually is, leading a series of devastating electoral defeats for the Republicans sufficient to shock them back into contact with consensus reality.”
