I read an interesting article by Allen Bourdius over at Hot Air this morning about this election cycle.
[Setting, 2004] If Bush isn’t reelected, John Kerry will destroy America and we will lose the war! This is the most important election in our lifetimes! [Setting, 2008] This is the most important election in our lifetimes! America will be over if we don’t stop Hillary…uhm…uh…Obama! [Setting, 2012] If we don’t defeat Obama in the most important election of our lifetimes, we won’t get rid of Obamacare and will lose the supreme court for decades! [Setting, 2016 (a.k.a. 2008 rewind)] This is the most important election in our lifetimes! America will be over if we don’t stop Hillary…uhm Bernie…uh Hillary!Sound familiar? It should. I could also toss in the same bits for the midterm elections of 2006, 2010, and 2014 – and for pre-2004 election cycles. And it’s all wrong. There is no one “most important election of our lifetimes”. Hyperbole is a very poor substitute for substance.
Pretty interesting don’t you think? He’s correct in that we’ve faced the same over-the-top breathless utterances during every major election cycle since..well.. since forever. Bourdius points out that many conservatives are and have been caught up in cults of personality regarding Trump, Cruz, and even Kasich. And he’s correct. I’ve been watching it unfold in train wreck fascination for months now.
