Sherrod Brown Says GOP's Fawning Over Trump Is Like Watching A North Korean Military Parade

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

In a discussion with the ‘Hardball’ host, Brown said the cult-like behavior of the GOP was on full display during Trump’s State of the Union address this week when Republican lawmakers immediately turned the affair into a full-blown MAGA rally.

“You look across their side of the aisle and the way they stand and cheer for damn near anything that Trump says when he wants them to stand, just in unison,” the Ohio senator said. “I know State of the Union speeches are sometimes like that, but never, never, ever to this degree and I’ve been to 20 of them over the years.”

12. That's a disgusting photo on so many levels.

[ffr]

3. Indeed!

[The Blue Flower]

4. The Rs have surrendered

We've just started to fight.

[guillaumeb]

8. We started in 2018.

But authoritarianism among conservatives is the norm.

5. Towards the end, Reince Priebus became one of the major suck-ups in the room saying,

Towards the end, Reince Priebus became one of the major suck-ups in the room saying, "On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, Mr. President, we thank you for the opportunity and blessing you've given us to serve your agenda and the american people and we're continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish those goals."

9. True.

Great cartoon.

[UTUSN]

6. Note to Sen. BROWN: You are in the creme of our creme, & I hoped you would run

And when we don't get to run our best ones, all we all can do is to complain about things like "the cult-like behavior of the GOP".

[Captain Zero]

7. He DID run. Dropped out quickly.

No traction. Go figure.

[onetexan]

10. Crowded field. It was good he dropped out quickly.

I do want him & many others to speak out as much as they can. The time for courage is now. We cannot cower to a despotic idiot like this one.

[Kurt V.]

11. Its amazing how quick it happened. being so total and complete. no fight in these

*conservatives* at all.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. Russiapublicans are chickenshit conservatives.

[Kurt V.]

15. the 2016 republican party talked a lot of shit about trump. now total submission. Pathetic.

[onetexan]

13. Well said mr Brown, the GOP congressmen are all spineless

And they very much do resemble the bots in north korea.

[guillaumeb]

16. Amazing how many conservatives are authoritarians.

And in the age of Trump, they are openly proud of it.

[WyattKansas]

17. The Democratic Party should really get up to speed with the fight they are in...

Make sure that every republican candidate from tRUMP to State politicians should have the Soviet Union flag tattooed to them or stamped on everything they put out. Make sure that every American knows that voting republican means a vote for the Soviet Union here.

[guillaumeb]

18. 2018 was the template for 2020.

A large, organized turnout is the key.

[WyattKansas]

19. But people need to understand that any vote for down ticket republicans will be...

Harder to clean up the republican rot destroying this country. All republicans just move up the chain and become even more corrupt.

[guillaumeb]

20. That is often true.

Sad that it is so, but I cannot think of too many GOP politicians that deviate from your assessment.
