Republicans Were A Disease Long Before Trump Slimed Into The White House

Last edited Sun Dec 31, 2017, 06:35 PM - Edit history (1)

Their "party" is built on lies, propaganda, and billionaire cash.

What they stand for is one thing. Helping the filthy rich rob the 99%.

Everything they do and say is to this end.

They are simply evil to a man and a woman.

Trying to take away my healthcare just to impress a bunch of Obama hating racists.

All Republicans are f-ing evil.

They must be treated as evil, and their attempts to kill my family and destroy my planet must be stopped.

What McConnell did for 8 years is textbook slime for the ages - blatant disregard and contempt for the will of the people and Democracy with a capital D.

And that was before the Dotard got his hand on the ink pen.

Republicans are the party of filthy rich people. Everyone else is either a means to an end or an enemy.

Merely rich people are useful to the extent their donations can help their candidates, so they get decent payoffs in exchange. Remember the absurd payoffs are reserved for the filthy rich people.

The rank and file republican is too poor to be financially useful to the party, but the party needs enough of them to vote so they can seem like a majority or nearly so. They can’t get any real payoff, so foxnews is there to make them think they’re “winning”

As for business, republicans only care about them to the extent they make filthy rich people even richer. Competition gets in the way of that, so they actually are bad for small businesses, except for hedge funds and pass-throughs, which the filthy rich use.

If a republican from 1958 time traveled to today they would have wondered how the Nazis has came back to conquer America

All because these fucking scumbags wave flags and Bibles louder than the other guy. And all so they can loot and give to the assholes who already have more money than God.
