Will Wilkinson notes the new t-shirt slogan “I only sleep with Democrats.” Money quote: ““Blue Balled,” the TheTruthThroughAction.org video below, simultaneously reduces politics to fashion and elevates fashion to morality. To fail be a Democrat is depicted as something like an embarrassing fashion faux pas so egregious that it deserves a response of moralized disgust.” It should be noted that the idea of moralizing about a faux pas has precedent, if I were in my apartment I’d dig up the Steven Pinker page number.
