The silence of Republicans is sickening and heartbreaking.

Do they really know what they are doing?

Are they really OK with destroying the Social Security system? Just yesterday, Trump said he wanted to make payroll tax cuts permanent. Do they know that would be the end of Social Security and Medicare?

Are they really OK with the destruction of our democracy and our institutions? Do they truly believe they will escape the violence and chaos if the authoritarians win?

Do they really think they are "winning"?

We just bombed the living crap out of them.

Same goes for the Reptilicans and Hair Furor.

Figuratively speaking of course.

Regardless of what Bernie said, he is dumb and stupid. Policy can come out of nowhere and there is never any relenting or correction. The whole administration and party have to follow no matter where he goes.

This moron loves rabbit holes.

They will pray in private, ask for forgiveness, get it, and forget it all and move on.
