Lots of Comic Relief in Today’s GOP

When we were introduced to Shakespeare in 8th grade, our English teacher explained that most of these plays were written for a variety of different audiences, each with its own level of education and social standing.  He went on to say that the lower classes sat in a “pit,” and took great pleasure in slapstick buffoonery and vulgarity that The Bard would write in, especially for them.

I see a great parallel to the antics in today’s Republican party.  Take Mike Lindell of My Pillow fame, and his ongoing claim that he has ironclad proof that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, but sadly, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to have that evidence.

If we weren’t dealing with the real possibility that American democracy is at its end, fools like Lindell and Giuliani would be hilariously funny.
