Okay, I posted this over at the Sacramento Bee thread with their “redacted” editorial, but I’ll post it here, since it seems to fit.
I remember Nov. 1994 when the Republicans took over, and there were similar diatribes about stupid angry voters...
“Some thoughts on those angry voters. Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. It’s clear that the anger controls the child and not the other way around. It’s the job of the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The voters had a temper tantrum last week....Parenting and governing don’t have to be dirty words: the nation can’t be run by an angry two-year-old.”
