The Stupidularity, Otherwise known as the “Scheisskopf Radius” Has Occured
Mooselini is ahead/winning her congressional race.
You can fool some of the people all the time, I guess. And the magic number always seems to hover around 30%.

At least it will be entertaining to watch the catfights in congress between her and Margie Three Names.
The primary casualty will be the English language…

If they want to do it correctly, we are going to have build a mudpit. The contestants will have to be wearing t shirts .

It’s to finish Don Young’s term, so until the 2022 Pie Fight. Not much time.
And then after that, well, who knows.

The question remains: will she quit before the end of her term, again?

So, maybe more good news for John McCain, but bad news for Don Young?

People like Karl Rove and others who work as political operatives understand this well. Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) is a recognized maladaptive personality trait that is reliably found in about 26% of the population worldwide. Add to that religious zealotry (granted the Venn diagram here is nearly a circle), and you are well above 30%. Since these people are pee-pants scared of everything, they are easily manipulated and motivated to vote and they are reliably Republican, so anyone who caters to their fear and hate will glide to victory in the primary.
RWA is how vocal minorities have pushed authoritarians to power everywhere on the planet. Once a sociopath/psychopath (terms we don’t really use anymore) recognizes an opportunity, the rise to power is fast. What we are experiencing today is a bit unusual in that the shear number of people displaying abhorrent psychology competing for leadership positions has skewed the centre and disrupted the narrative so as to normalize authoritarianism in the discourse.
Of course, Fox and it’s cohort propaganda outlets make this even more unsettling.
One final note that really brings this discussion home is the prevalence of perceived self-intelligence in those displaying RWA. We have textbook examples here daily.

“The magic number always seems to hover around 30%” — given Democrats’ shitty voter turnout rates, 30% suffices!

Repukes must love voting for dumbshits who quit halfway through their terms. What Sarah Barfacuda lacks in staying power she more than makes up for in idiocy.

I think Alaska needs to be sent to their room. While they are in there, maybe they can think about their bad behavior and where the food and money comes from. Or maybe we can give the whole state back to Russia. They are mostly Republicans, so they should be happy with Putin.

Actually, I’d like to see the look on the faux news host during the interview when she says something like this, again.
