Tip of the spear

When Republicans tell us that they're going to bayonet us, we ought to believe them:

I’m not happy about the pain and suffering and lost dreams and betrayed children that could flow from all that folly, of course.  But I do think it is extremely valuable to  see what it looks like when GOP true believers start to exercise real power.  Each time you get a clear statement of intent:  rapists outrank rape victims; vets are less valued than Wall St. executives—it becomes that much easier to shrink the Republican coalition as we go forward.

And, accordingly, we should make them pay the electoral price for their extremism.
