"Trump didn't hijack the Republican Party- He walked in the front door and they welcomed him

[tulipsandroses]

with open arms" - Said by former Republican Rep David Jolly. I'm paraphrasing, but yeah, I think he was spot on, it did not take long for him to become their hero.

They don't have Stockholm syndrome.

1. If we can pry him out of the White House even with the cheating, their tunes will change.

They'll all claim to have hated Trump.

Just like EVERYBODY in Germany claimed to have never been a Nazi after the Nazis lost the war.

2. I find myself liking former Republicans more than i thought i would.

Jolly is one of them.

3. Yes

He is a symptom of the modern Republican Party, not the cause.

4. They do welcome in because if

They disliked him so much they wouldn't be trying so hard to get him reelected

5. Exactly

Look at the top three vote getters in the 2016 repuke primaries.

Three fucking assholes. And the top two were MAJOR FUCKING ASSHOLES.

Identity politics defined. THEY VOTE FOR ASSHOLES BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, I get it, we all deal with Republicans, have friends and family that are Republicans. Some in my family are fucking assholes, cowards, wimps. One was all for the Iraq war, USA, USA, now he was too old to fight, so when called out he claimed he would enlist if he could. Then they extended the age and I hit him up. Time to go enlist, the fucking wimp turned green.

Others are good people for the most part, but are either racists or the type that are afraid to buck the system. We will never get the racists, but those afraid to go against the system,... they need to be more afraid of us than the repukes.

6. Actually, they held the door open for him.

7. I always gave the

concept that there is a vast rw conspiracy a 50/50 but now I am thinking it most likely that it's actually the long game.
