2. Their Governor, R-idiculous,SC, blames "uncertainty in Washington?"

That’s “Republican uncertainty,” if you please, brought on by Republican chaos caused by Republican incompetence. What they ARE good at, is propaganda (they DO love their Fox Noise and their phony piety), and voter suppression. There is a reason they want total control over what our children learn in school through what our young adults learn in college. An indoctrinated person makes a control freak’s job much easier.

But all that only works if they are pushing a unified message. If they can’t keep that intact, then there is a struggle over who controls the propaganda, and if there is that, the control weakens. The last thing a Republican governor wants to do is tell his state that a local economic disaster was caused by Republican incompetence in Washington. It gets the locals to wondering if it’s contagious.
