Cognitive Dissonance and the Right Wing Echo Chamber

Ever since Obamacare was ruled constitutional, the right wing has been all over the place with it's message(s). Used to the the right wing dictated what would lead during any news cycle. Now what they lead with is a whine of confusion.

We now have the the sequester battle, and it's all just one big Ball of Confusion, but remember, not to take things out of context. FOX News was stunned over the 2012 election and they simply imbecilic on the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare. In 2010 after the Tea Party shot it's load, the GOP took the kooks in with open arms only to find out it's now the tail waging the dog. They GOP has been in disarray since GW Bush, and their last hurrah was 2010.

What the GOP needs now is a new message that resonates with the electorate outside of the whacko base, and real leaders who see a big tent and not a meeting of a clan. Instead what they are left with is alarmist hysteria and demagogues.

What will happen after the sequester goes into effect and the right wing base gets angrier and screeches even louder as what they say is no big deal turns out to be a big deal for 1014? I predict the GOP will suffer only slightly but will become more fragmented. Since GW Bush the GOP has had a difficult time connecting with the people and reality.

2014 can't come soon enough. Cognitive dissonance in a party message has been hilariously entertaining for the past 4 years,

"Cut spending at all costs!" "Throw the damn baby out with the bath water!"

Where did we hear this before? Ever since Obama got elected in 2008 the right wing in America has become unhinged. I think this explains what happens when one lives with cognitive dissonance for too long.

 

[Truthmatters]

they are run by a base that only cares about their own relection to house seats.


They place that above country and party now.

I would tend to think that the Congress will remain Republican. I don't see a Pelosi Congress in 2014.

So, more of the same. It is the American way.

The conservative agenda that puts God and family values above the rights of criminals and lazy welfare leeches are not principles that will be abandoned. Conservatives are true patriots and always will be. Only liberals sell out to the highest bidder.

Your a partisan clown with not one single FACT to offer any debate.

Why should anyone listen to you

There's a nice German word which neatly sums up the GOP since Obama was first elected...schadenfreude. It means to take pleasure from the trouble of others.

Isn't that exactly what they do? They take real pleasure in causing the President trouble. They take real pleasure in inventing conspiracy theories they can link him to. They take real pleasure in reviling poor people, welfare recipients, illegal immigrants, liberals, progressives, marxists, Democrats, blacks, women, even children. They take real pleasure in torpedoing the future of America by clinging bitterly to an unyielding, rigid, mean-spirited, bigoted ideology.

Schadenfreude--The motto of the 21st century Republican.

Your conclusion may be correct, but as Dante pointed out the GOP message is both alarmist (hate and fear) and demagoguery. Both wear thin in the face of reality and even those districts cut out to be safe for Republicans in 2010 may very well come into play in 2014. Households split in 2012, more women voted for The President and that trend will remain unabated as long as the GOP continues to support guns and work to deny a women's right to choose. I suspect many Hispanics see through the efforts by the GOP to once again pretend their party is a big tent. A few tokens does not make a sea change.

The right is basically acting like a dog who accidentally got left out of it's crate at home when the owner left.

Confused. Not sure where to go. Barking at every noise. Shitting and pissing on everything.

Someone needs to put the GOP mutts back in their cage.

 

[Truthmatters]

Lets let thenm in the back yard and take them to the dog park and play fetch with them and give them nice walks.

Maybe they will be as smart as my dogs after that

 

[martybegan]

So a post complaining about the GOP "echo chamber" creates a USMB progressive echo chamber of its own.

Such movements often take generational change. The Democrats were the party of the KKK and they are now the party of the disenfranchised.

Generational changes are massive things and the Democrats are riding the ebbing flow of the sixties/seventies generational wave. The Republicans are riding the forties/fifties wave and have some serious soul searching to do with regards to modernization of their party platform but they're having a hard enough time dealing with the Norquist pledge which does not bode well for 2016 imo.

There's an American expression that fits your post rather nicely, Oldguy...it's "horseshit".

This President hasn't had a clue what he's doing since his bony ass hit that chair in the Oval Office but it's always the Republican's fault. He can't pass a budget? It's the Republican's fault! Unemployment is at the same high level as when he took office and now projected to go higher? It's the Republican's fault! The price of gas headed back towards $4 a gallon once again? It's those darned Republicans! His Middle East policy in tatters and an American Ambassador killed? Republicans! Iran building a nuke and laughing at our feeble attempts to stop them? Republicans! A health care "fix" that's going to raise costs and lower the quality of services while it bankrupts the country? Republicans!

Tell me why it was we ever elected this guy in the first place...let alone REELECTED him? He's totally unprepared for the task at hand...always has been...and judging from what I'm seeing now...always will be.

obamacare was declared Constitutional as a tax. As Justice Roberts said, if we don't like the tax, we can change the legislature.

Those who rob Peter to pay Paul, can always count on Paul's vote.
That's how obama was reelected. He promised to rob Peter even more, and secure forever the right not to work but live lives of comfort.
