In the post-debate mayhem, one thing became crystal: The GOP’s gone from the party of Lincoln to the party of “nope.”

Science? Fake news. Fair elections? Only when they win. Their platform? Bitching about everything while offering zip.

Somehow, this toddler tantrum masquerading as politics has hooked half the country. I was stunned to hear some at the dogpark thought the debate tapped into Harris’ dishonesty and the nation’s pitiful state. They’ve struck a goldmine of grievance, buying the GOP’s brand built on the arson of American institutions.

Climate change? Liberal hoax. COVID? Overblown conspiracy. 2020 election? Stolen, obviously. It’s denial all the way down.

Their vision for America? A nostalgia trip fueled by fear and sprinkled with culture war nonsense. Ask them for solutions and watch them blue-screen faster than Windows 95.

This election isn’t left vs. right. It’s adults vs. ankle-biters. One side’s trying to steer the ship, the other’s drilling holes and calling it freedom.

The real kicker? This act’s playing to packed houses across America. What’s that say about us?

2024’s the showdown: Doers vs. Whiners. Time to decide: build something or burn it all down?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
