they will not stop until they destroy everything. nothing short of complete destruction of the Constitution, Democrats, progressives, all dissent will ever be enough for them. there is no wall they will not burn through. they recognize no limit.
this is the mentality of those who sent men, women and children into the showers. nothing will satisfy them short of complete eradication of everything and everyone dear leader tells them to hate.

They will NOT flinch if we are deported or worse.
And Putin is going to do something drastic to retain his power here.

(12,712 posts)The only bright side to this is that now, more than ever, the GOP is proving itself to be the complete antithesis to what we are and stand for. So, at least that is becoming very evident and I think it will help us fight the good fight tactically.
This way, the line is clear. No more pretending that the Republicans are anything other than that. The deeper they dig, the more effectively we can utilize the contrast and win the struggle. Considering their current tactics and behaviors, it seems to me that, generally, they are so self-involved and cocky that it may not be all that clear what they are revealing about their faults and weaknesses. It is like an old mask is coming off and it is revealing the hideous nightmare in their collective psyches.
I consider that as empowering for us and it gives me much more optimism about this opposition and where we can go, as well as what we can do, from here on in.
Let's go for it, shall we? Solidarity! We have got this!

(4,292 posts)The modern Republican Party is like that sad case found in nature, in which a wasp lays eggs inside a moth larva, and the eggs grow inside the moth larva, slowly eating it until there is nothing left inside the skin except wasps.
The party of Abe Lincoln and Thaddeus Stevens has slowly morphed into a thin disguise for the heirs of their enemies: southern pro-slavery confederates, northern pro-slavery racists, and white supremacist proto-Nazis. It is positively macabre to listen to the efforts of GOP apologists to paint themselves as the true followers of Abe Lincoln.
