Tell me that tale again, GOP ...

Last edited Mon Feb 13, 2023, 07:27 AM - Edit history (3)

... it's a story I love to hear.

Tell me again how Democrats are determined to take our freedoms away, while you continue to ensure that women have no right to choose how and when they have children.

Tell me again how you want to protect the integrity of the vote, while you do everything possible to suppress the votes of those who traditionally vote against you.

Tell me again how making access to firearms easier is a logical response to mass shootings.

Tell me again how drag queens reading books to children is 'grooming them' to be sexual deviants, while sending out Christmas cards showing your own children holding guns isn't grooming kids to be future killers.

And while you're at it, tell me again how banning books isn't grooming kids to grow up to be ill-informed idiots who can't compete with better-informed people around the world.

Tell me again what good Christians you are, while you consistently vote against Christ's admonitions to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and care for the sick.

Yes, by all means, tell me again what patriots you are, while praising those who sought to overturn our democracy on January 6th - all at the behest of a 'patriotic pResident' who declared our military to be comprised of losers, who used his 'pResidency' to personally enrich himself, who declared himself 'in love' with our enemies, and who stole our country's classified documents for purposes we can only speculate about.

These are only a few of the tall tales we folks with common sense find laughable - along with the blatant hypocrisy of your policies, and the beyond-hilarious antics of the whack-jobs that are now the face of your party.

It's said that he who laughs last laughs best - and the GOP should take note of who was laughing the loudest after the 2020 election, not to mention the 2022 midterms and the Red Wave that never happened.

Tall tales only work on the dumbest-of-the-dumb - and the GOP's worst nightmare is the idea that their own constituents are beginning to wake up to the reality that Republican fairy tales are nothing more than bedtime stories designed to lull complacent, ignorant children to sleep while alleged adults burn the country to the ground.

So tell me that tale again, Republicans - the one where you're going to sweep the 2024 election with the same bullshit that lost you 2020 and 2022.

It's a story I so love to hear.

you nail it. Seems like you speak for everyone I know as well as everyone here; you absolutely reflect the truth of our feelings and thoughts - from simple reactions to the complex & sublimely logical. Would that the world could read your words - so well written, so beautifully articulated.

You sure know how to keep it real.

Tell us again how using governmental power to impose minority, extremist religious beliefs on everyone enhances freedom.

This post just about sums up the salient points of right wing hypocrisy. It needs to be disseminated to as wide an audience as possible.
