In the case of Nancy Mace the expiry of an attention-grabbing crackpot's political career is both cause to sing a joyful ballad of good riddance, and deepen our contempt towards a corrupt corporate media that couldn't keep its hands off the Palmetto wing nut when it came time to filling their airways.

Degeneracy triumphed over seriousness, and looniness became its own sort of stature.

Nancy Mace is awful.

She is cruel.

Nancy Mace is a low-rent bully.

When I look at her she reminds me of the Jeff Goldblum character from "The Fly."

Goldblum, a handsome man, is so hideously disfigured by his mutation that it is difficult to maintain a gaze on him by the end of the film. The repugnancy of what he had become is so grotesque that " even through a flat screen in a sterile theater "every person could smell the stench.

Her fetish is cruelty, and she has targeted a specific person " a real person named Sarah McBride.

McBride is Delaware's Representative-elect and the first-ever openly trans woman in Congress. Mace has targeted her for real persecution, harassment and dehumanization.

Her audience is an internet mob enticed and stimulated by the practice of cruelty that gets truly frothy when viciousness is mated to Mace's venal stupidity.

What Nancy Mace proves is that one person can truly make a difference. They can make everything worse.

Denying any person the ability to go to the bathroom is a despotic and despicable act that takes dignity from humanity, and leaves humiliation in its wake. This is what is going on here, and it is awful to watch.

What would I say to an 18-year-old person struggling to understand a misalignment between their sexuality and gender, how to process it, what to call it, and what to think about everything?

I thought about the people who might judge, mock, demean or laugh at them. I thought about the bullies who would make every single simple thing in their life a never-ending existential conflict

I thought about people who might judge people who are nice to them and treat them with respect, dignity and understanding.

... because the Democratic Party is imperfect.
