1. That's been part of their brand for a while, hasn't it? n/t

[Faux pas]

3. becoming? it's their motto

4. "Becoming"?

Where have you been since, at least, January of 2001?

5. Is? . . .

It's been for quite some time. Women's civil rights will be completely discarded. Same for POC's. Freedom of speak gone for people who are not purist and toll the same line.

And they don't mind letting senior citizens, POCs die from COVID-19 because in their views, heck, they were going to die any way.

6. It's been their brand for 60 years (or longer)

But I guess it is just more overt than ever because they are shameless

7. You can't blame them

Without racism, sexism, hate and fear the Republicans have nothing to offer their faithful.

8. And vice versa. BEFORE Trump, the Republican leadership

had to choose between becoming more representative or being voted into oblivion. They chose a third course -- overset democracy and replace it with a white male Christian authoritarian state.
