Please, I beg you, stop praising republicans

[angrychair]

No republican is good. Period. We need to stop advocating for them.
Murkowski, Hogan, Romney all are republican and 100% responsible for trump's every action.

We need to stop kissing a Republican's ass every time they do or say anything remotely decent.

These people are monsters that have actively blocked well over 400 pieces of legislation from the House.

Actively blocked removing trump from office despite clear evidence against him

Actively supported keeping children in cages.

Actively trying to destroy healthcare, specifically the ACA

Actively worked against a women's right to control her own healthcare

Actively worked against the rights of the LGBTQ community

Directly responsible for the continued radicalization of the republican party base.

These people deserve our unending disdain and ridicule, not praise for occasionally doing or saying the right thing.

I will never praise Republicans for ANYTHING and will only advocate for their complete destruction as a political party.

2. Completely agree

They will never do the right thing when everything is on the line Never.

[central scrutinizer]

3. Agree

Anything they say now is far too little, way too late. Weasels holding their finger up to see which way the breeze is blowing.

4. I have to disagree, a little.

There are some, maybe only a few, who did not enable Trump.

Bill Clinton's SOS, William Perry, is one who I've met and know to be a man of intelligence and honor. He is not complicit in Trump's rise.

There are others. Colin Powell. And some whose names I cannot recall.

Yours is a broad brush, and well applied to the republicans of today. But it may be just a bit of overreach.

8. I agree my disdain is broad

It reaches back to the days of Nixon (Bush Sr. A perfect example). Specifically though, all those associated with Reagan and moving forward. There was laid the true foundation for the radicalization of the right and Republicans in general.

While I respect your opinion, I find no redeeming quality in any republican.

I truly believe our nation is doomed as long as ANY republican has any political power of any kind. From dog catcher to president.

I strongly advocate for the destruction of the republican party.
For clarification, I obviously do not want anyone physically harmed or anything crazy like that. I just want their political powered neutered.

11. colin powell needs to get his lying self out there and find those WMDs nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. That was a truly misbegotten moment of his.

He was being the good soldier. It was wrong.

I still maintain that he is a responsible man, and on the whole, not a typical republican at all.

[Cousin Dupree]

5. They have deeply offended my moral belief system. There will be no fence mending

[rickyhall]

6. If they weren't evil why would they would be repugs?

[Kaleva]

7. we don' have to support them. But it's wise to refrain from going negative on those who attack Trump

Attacking those Repubs who are critical of Trump or of some of his actions is allying oneself with Trump.

[BainsBane]

9. Observing that the rats are jumping ship

Is not praising them. It's just showing that the Trump side show is weakening.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. too little, too late, they had their chance to rid us of this f**k. f**k them too.

[Blue Owl]

12. Let the GOP go down with tRump

Flush all that shit.

[Beakybird]

14. Hurray!!! This!

[NRaleighLiberal]

15. I completely agree.

[birdographer]

16. Just for the record,

I have never once in my life praised a republican.

[UCmeNdc]

17. Agree

[pnwmom]

18. I want more to jump ship, so I'll keep thanking the ones who do. n/t

[stopdiggin]

22. 100% (nt)

[Tribetime]

19. 1000 👍😃

[stopdiggin]

20. way too broad a brush

understand the sentiment (and share it with you on certain days) -- but blanket condemnation -- while perhaps satisfying -- doesn't take us anyplace productive. IMO

21. this was

their game plan all along, they hated FDR for the new deal? I stand corrected if that term is not correct. They (repigs) never were for the Middle Class, and now in the present they have shown us how much disdain they have for us, even to the point of not passing a stimulus bill while one quarter of a million Americans have died.

They have our blood on their hands and we should never let them forget it.

[My Pet Orangutan]

23. The only food Republican is a dead Republican :sarcasm:

Not gonna buy into totalitarianism of any flavor.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

24. Totally agree with you.

Fuck off and die republicans.

[Initech]

25. See my OP from yesterday:

https://democraticunderground.com/100214592734

I'm done playing nice with these assholes.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. Sometimes a rattlesnake shits where you need fertilizer. It's still a rattlesnake.

[BGBD]

27. We don't have to agree with them

but we also can't lump them all into the sith.

We need to turn this temperature down.

[Silent3]

28. Reminds me of some favorite They Might Be Giants lyrics

We were once so close to heaven
Peter came out and gave us medals
Declaring us the nicest of the damned

[BrightKnight]

29. IDK about praise but in a 2 party state decent

Republicans that I disagree with are better than a one party state.
