Republicans cannot be trusted.

[kentuck]

Have you any doubts?

After what they have put the American people thru, they should be rolled up and discarded as a political Party.

They have been complicit with Donald Trump every inch of the way. It is not naivete or stupidity. They know exactly what they are doing.

They don't care about our democracy or our country. They don't care about our people. They care about power. That is all.

Knowing what they are willing to disregard, illegal or immoral or otherwise, they do not deserve the trust of the American people.

1. I agree with you but what I think really doesn't matter. What matters is if the people that think

Trump is "Great" or maybe "no that bad" will continue to support him. I think these folks are too damn stupid to ever stop supporting him. They are just like him and he speaks for them. His base (about 40%) will always support him. I live in Texas and I can tell you without a doubt that most of my neighbors love him.....hillbillies.

2. Agreed, and we need to impose consequences

Some here excoriate me for saying such a thing but their current ideology is a sick and dangerous one. We must attempt some kind of deterrence.

4. I agree with you Cary

Not only toss them out,but make it impossible for dark triad personalities to ever run for any office.

Because if you have no empathy,no consience and no compassion and you don't care than you cannot be trusted,and you are incapable of compassion when the American people suffer.
you should be banned
and disqualified from holding positions of power in government.

Republicans are dark triad personalities. They show it by thier words,actions beliefs bills they write and how they vote.
( Dark triad personality is narcissism, authoritarianism , sociopathy)

And thier actions and beliefs lead them to protect and expand their own pathology through dirty tricks late night votes,
Voter interference,and any other loophole they find they will exploit it,and the laws they write and what they refuse to vote for always supports thier pathology and fascist beliefs. Thier personalities make them a very real danger to our country.

This is due to thier personality type.
It's incompatible with democracy

3. I wonder about the "born-again" repuglicons who are mounting ads against trump

Are they against the (r)epuglicon establishment (gingriches, delays, cheneys)?

Or are they against the ahole who took up the repuglicon mantle to win an election?

What will they do when the push comes between true democrats and true republicans?

Are their true colors still reflected as anti any social programs?
Anti Social Security?
Anti healthcare for all?
Anti education for all no matter their parents wealth?
Anti progressive income taxes?
Anti wealth and inheritance taxes?

Are they still representing the rich over the middle and lower classes?
