It's going to be a long, hot summer — and I'm not just talking about the weather.
Take a handful of hallucinogens, sedatives and edibles, wash them down with a healthy amount of your favorite liquor during a backyard barbecue with people you love, some you barely know and others you can't stand, and you'll approximate the political climate in the United States today on the eve of the midterm elections.
The summer of 2022 is hot and furious. We are dealing with a world literally on fire due to climate change.

The author (Brian) must be a hoot at the wine parties with the other gals.

The author starts the article with "Take a handful of hallucinogens, sedatives and edibles, wash them down with a healthy amount of your favorite liquor."
I think that probably the only thing in the article that actually explains their thinking processes.

Just like the OP I was drawn in by the first paragraph and its' sick and outrageous lies that certain simpletons take as truth, just like a moth to a flame. Spoiler alert, the article's contents do not get any smarter or stray anywhere near the truth. Liberalism is a disease for which there will never be a vaccine other than a piece of speeding lead.

Geez...dude needs to get OUT more, and during the daytime when "People with Jobs/homes/children are out in the world" instead of afterhours dive/drag/gay bars where everyone apparently sees the world with his red tinged perspective.

Are you better off today than you were four years ago? Do you feel that you will be better off in two years with the same people in office? It not that difficult. This guy needs to be medicated then educated.

Perhaps because Jan. 6 hearings are a witch hunt, and Roe being overturned is a lie.

I read it as satire but I think (insert author's favored pronoun here) is serious. Seriously something.
I shake my head that there are such people willing to prove the saying: "It is better to be silent and believed a fool, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt."
Too much drugs or not enough?
But, Salon...

Some of what he says is ok, even funny. Particularly the passage from Blazzing Saddles. But he misses the point when he speaks of republicans. In particular, trump republicans. He believes they don't stand for anything but rage. That other than that, they are hollow. I think that conclusion is more what he hopes is true, and not what actually is true. Trump republicans stand against the deep state, the uni-party, the parties of the elites. Trump republicans are populists and nationalists, not globalists. They are also federalists and believe power should return to the states. That's hardly hollow.

Clearly it hasn’t occurred to the author, although it should, that he is hopelessly enthralled by his prejudices. Here, in Brian Kasem, is a man who has no intellectual curiosity and as a result not only doesn’t know what he’s talking about but hasn’t even tried to learn. The Republicans and Conservatives of whom he speaks with such derision don’t see themselves in the adjectives he uses. Perhaps he is guilty of projection but, in any case, he lacks wisdom and is, therefore, a waste of time.

He just laments that everyone doesn’t see things the way he does. He continues to be an example of the greatest obstacle to unity.

"The Roe v. Wade debacle threatens to produce a galvanized voting bloc of women from across the socioeconomic spectrum that could make such an outcome possible."
Only problem with this analysis is that, according to that radical alt right conservative polling agency Gallup, 65% of women self identify as pro life. As does The IPSOS polls which reports that 67% of the general population does as well.
and this, after extolling the virtue and unbiased Jan 6 hearings as the height of enlightened fairness and truth.
"If the Democrats can learn from the hearings and apply those lessons in messaging"
He admits the truth, they were simply a democrat political messaging excercise. What a maroon.
He is right on one point though, overturning Roe has energized 85% of the 13% of the electorate that identifies as both Democrat and female. And with the majority of those democrat women being between 18 and 30 they can expect at least about 6% of the population to vote D, which they would have anyway.
And a note on voter apathy/ A european friend once said to me that 30 to 40 percent turnout in elections was shameful. I argued that 30% turnout if representative is fine. Apathy is not dangerous. I would rather the 30% who were involved, informed and motivated decide elections. I told him that if we ever see voter turnout in the 60 to 80 percent range all it would mean is that we as a nation are in great trouble and that uninformed and emotional voters are literally being driven to the polls by a feeling that something is very wrong in their lives and that it is the governments fault.
Angry and scared voters are very dangerous. Apathy is our natural state and if life is good and the trains run on time we are a happy content people. If something happens that shakes that apathy and turns it to anger or fear, well, all that means is something terroble is happening in our nation.

Brian, baby, to at least partially explain why the majority of people are not frothing about Roe and the 'hearings', I direct your attention to a great political thinker, James the Snakehead, who said 'It's the Economy, Stupid!'

Perhaps if they actually believed in God and used his name other than in vain, there would have a touch more clarity on the current condition of the Democrat party. They look at the Ten Commandments the same way as the Constitution, living, breathing and changing with the times instead of the absolutes they represent. Last I checked they weren't the Ten Suggestions...

Ol' Brian was a southern-end-of-a-northbound-horse when he got canned for misbehavior at Channel 4 in San Antonio some 30 years ago. Somewhere, I last heard he was Washinton correspondent for Playboy.
Now I can't even sell the line that I read it fir the articles.

One of many aggressive, dangerous, sucker punching, slobs who love to make noise to get attention. He 'hates' bullies, but that is exactly what he is. Thinks he is some kind of tough guy going around challenging guys to a fist fight. Please don't stop Brian, because sooner than you think someone will clean your clock and you will wonder what happen. A reporter for Playboy? That isn't too passe, but I guess normal for a 60+ neocommie maniac.

Read on for a good laugh. This rant must be seen to be believed. A look behind the curtain into the demented minds of leftists. The Republicans are hemorrhaging voters. The Jan 6 Committee has presented clear and convincing, factual evidence of a coup attempt orchestrated by Donald Trump. And the moon is made of green cheese. I made that last one up, but it's more reasonable than most anything that appears in this woefully out of touch column.
