Is it really a smear when they are telling the truth about an opponent? Wasn't the Republican Party officially courting racists? It isn't important whether the Republican Party was racist or not. I don't think it was. The important fact was that the racists thought/think the Republican Party was/is a "safe space" for their racism.
In the election of 2008 John McCain rejected racist attacks on Barack Obama. Well, John McCain is dead and that kind of candor died with him. Lindsey Graham has helped extinguish that torch lit against the darkness.
Is the problem really liberals taking notice and pointing out the creeping decadence of the Republican Party that has been festering since 1994?
I remember all the voices of Conservative, Inc. raised in alarm when Mitch McConnell refused to even consider an Obama appointment to the Supreme Court with the most ridiculous and vacuous excuse. Oh, yeah, there wasn't any alarm. The reaction of Conservative, Inc. was expressed in terms of mild amusement and praise for McConnell's mastery of the game.
The Republican Party is falling to the level it has worked so hard to achieve for a few decades now. Once "Conservatives had become accustomed to being called mean, dumb, benighted bigots." Now it is a requirement.
Julian Assange once encouraged his followers to "Be the troll you want to see in the world..." and the Republican Party has made that their reality.
PS... I am sick and tired of having to vote for Democrats simply because they are less obviously evil. Democrats may be guilty of hypocrisy but at least their pretensions to moral superiority acknowledges there is still value in moral principles. Republicans have gone full nihilist. There is no good or evil--- just winning and losing.

Ditto on the 'having to vote for Democrats' part. Way past sick and tired here.
