You've got to hand it to the Republicans, they are nothing if not persistent.
Like a particularly avid suitor, they just won't take "No" for an answer.
They got their asses handed to them in the general election. They lost the presidency badly. They lost seats in the Senate. And, make no mistake about it, if they hadn't gerrymandered every district in each state they control, they would have lost the House, too.
Yet they immediately re-introduce the exact same measures the voters overwhelmingly rejected in November.
Well, maybe not "exact". In some cases they've made them worse. Because that's the way the modern Republican mind works, I guess.
Never underestimate their ability to take a bad idea, and fine tune it until it is truly awful.
It doesn't matter what the voters want, because being a Republican in the 21st Century means that you really don't trust democracy.
So, scream all you want about the need for gun control, minority rights, gay marriage, universal heath care, a woman's right to control her own body, and the sanctity of Medicare and Social Security.
You might as well be talking to the wall.
The truth is, we're all Bill Murray, and we get to live through this crap again. And again. And again.
