Plan B

We all know what the GOP’s Plan A was – to get Trump re-elected. Well, that’s obviously not going to happen. Republicans saying "it’s still early, we can turn this thing around between now and November" are lying – and they know they’re lying.

So it’s time to launch Plan B: Divert as many taxpayer dollars as possible into the pockets of wealthy donors and ‘Christian’ organizations, buy the silence of those who know where the bodies are buried through pardons/commuted sentences, place corrupt cronies in positions to oversee (i.e. interfere with) investigations into their own crimes, stoke division and racial unrest, sow panic by letting Codid-19 run rampant throughout the population, and allow the economy to collapse – and then hand over a ravaged, flailing nation to President Joe Biden.

Elected Republicans who lose their seats will spend Biden’s time in office re-inventing themselves and rewriting history, and will base their inevitable political comeback on the Democrats’ failure to undo the damage they themselves did to the country at Trump’s behest.

“Look at the mess we’re in since the (D)s took over,” will be the battle cry, without ever acknowledging that the mess was inherited – in the same way they never acknowledged that the booming economy was Obama’s legacy, and was never created by the Dotard who they systematically allowed to destroy it.

That explains why Republicans in office aren’t trying to save their own political asses by distancing themselves from Trump and his policies – they’ve been sold on the idea that Plan B has now been set in motion, and their sure defeat in November will be rewarded by party powers-that-be, with lots of support and endless campaign funds the next time around.

We are now seeing Plan B in action, a.k.a. ”Take the money and run.”

We will be devastated when we start to uncover just how bad it really is.
We will have to sacrifice for a long time and start repairing the country from the huge debt on up. People will lose patience.

Imagine if we had continued the pay down of debt after Bill Clinton left office and we had a President Gore.

6. Remember when President Obama took office, inheriting the Bush recession?

It took Republicans FOREVER to finally acknowledge that the bad economy was, yeah maybe, I guess, probably Bush's fault... but then immediately started complaining that Obama WASN'T FIXING IT FAST ENOUGH!

Republicans are incompetent assholes. Wait, let me re-phrase: they are incompetent at governing, but they are excellent at being assholes.
