When word came out a few days ago that the Republican Party had decided to go into their convention without any platform, instead just pledging their complete and total fealty to Donald Trump, I knew that the RNC was going to be weird.

Back in 2014, with the rabid support of the Tea Party and far-right talkshow hosts like Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, and Ann Coulter, Dave Brat, an econ professor at Randolph–Macon College with an Ayn Rand fetish and a talent for riling up crowds of angry voters, somehow managed to win the Republican primary for Virginia’s […]

And Donald Trump has responded just like the organized crime boss that we know him to be, talking openly […]

Before you thank Trump for finally telling the violent racists emboldened by his victory to “Stop it,” you should know that he also announced his chief White House strategist would be Steve Bannon, the man who brought white nationalism into the mainstream with the alt-right
