Republicans are approaching their last opportunity to get off the train.

[kentuck]

Because, we are near the point where there is no turning back and there are no more stops for them to get off the train that is hellbent on destroying our country and our democracy. There is no putting Humpty back together again once Ol' 47 goes off the track.

It is decision time for Republicans. They must act now before we all witness the wreck of the Ol' 47.

They think they have more time but they do not.

They must act or we may see the end of our democracy.

It is not a game. It is reality.

We live with our decisions.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Republicans have learned their policies have been and are unpopular.

An authoritarian dictatorship is the ONLY way their choices become mandates, i.e., take away the choice from The People.

Democracy is not their friend.

[kentuck]

2. We can only hope that there are a half dozen or so in the House and Senate...

...that still love their country and take their oath seriously, that will stand up. The majority are lost, unfortunately.

[FalloutShelter]

3. The thing is tho...

Democracy is their business. I’m talking about Rethugs holding office. Once Democracy is gone, so is their sweet, sweet, thing.

I still believe that self interest will determine the end game here. It will cease to be “us or them” . It will be “TSF or us”. If TSF’s dictatorship takes hold, they are ALL EXPENDABLE. That includes the SCOTUS.

Their bottomless self interest will save us from total collapse of the system. Unfortunately, the recovery will be difficult once the spell breaks.

just MHO. Thanks for listening.

10. I like what you are saying

I think you may be right, about some of them anyway. I think we see (most in) the Supreme Court deciding this. Why not others?

[Joinfortmill]

21. Amazing thing that their self interest may save us

But it just might.

[calimary]

5. I'm not entirely sure they've learned ANYTHING from this whole sordid sideshow.

They’re WAY too determined to jam their self-made poisons down our throats.

They may not want to be too close by when that vile mess comes back up.

[Hope22]

4. ......we live or die with their decisions....nt

[johnnyplankton]

6. I agree, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Moral cowardice is the hallmark of this version of the Republican party...

[Hotler]

7. According to reports, it seems everyone is afraid in Washington. We don't dare try to get off this train.

We don't dare vote no.

[chowder66]

8. They already have their cover story of being scared.... as they tell others anonymously.

[1WorldHope]

9. Every time I call my R in congress, I tell him that it's up to you R's to do something about the toddler.

We can't do it without them. Look into your heart and do what is right.

[IronLionZion]

11. They're driving the train full speed right off a cliff

[Harker]

12. When one of my senators spoke of lying down on the train tracks...

I suggested he'd do better to get up and tear up the tracks.

If that's no good, blow the bridges. They're clearly all in.

[Fil1957]

13. Don't think they will, 'cause many of them

in spite of what they lament behind closed doors, in their heart of hearts WANT a dictatorship. And they'll still have their jobs even if the democracy is lost. Rome still had the senate under the emperor, just as Russia has the Duma under Putin.

[Martin68]

14. I won't hold my breath, but I do fervently hope enough of them will come to their senses and do the right thing.

[hadEnuf]

15. The end of democracy

and the start of a civil rebellion.

Aside from the traitors who want it, I doubt many Americans are going to be happy walking around in a Trump police state after nearly 250 years of freedom.

[William769]

16. Lemmings.

[BidenRocks]

17. They want a dictatorship

Recall that Healthcare exec that got killed?
People are supporting the shooter.
Politicians should know that under a Dick this will be commonplace.
Its called the resistance
FAFO!

[Ol Janx Spirit]

18. Republicans really just remind me of Slim Pickens' character--Major T. J. "King" Kong--at the end of...

...Dr. Strangelove as he waves his cowboy hat and rides the nuclear bomb to his--and everyone else's--death. Like Major T. J. "King" Kong, they have managed to evade every effort to stop them from causing this calamity... I'm not sure why they would stop now.

[Skittles]

19. at a certain point it won't be a case of them waking up

it will be us realizing THEY ARE COMPLICIT

[kentuck]

22. That may be the problem?

We keep holding out hope that a few might be willing to work to save the democracy but it may be only a fool's errand? We may have to face the reality that none are going to change and we have no choice but to fight them on every front. Defeat them. That is the only solution.
