The few disgruntled GOP'ers are out of power... see Lincoln Project folks, Liz Cheney, Adam Unemployed Kinziger and Paul "Who" Ryan.

I wish I believed that there was even one Republican who was a decent human being, even deep down.

I don't. Not anymore.

of white people in America these days. The GOP is the WPP (White People's Party) and has been since the late 60's.

The last time Democrats won the presidential white vote was in 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson versus Barry Goldwater.

In every presidential election since then Democrats have lost the white vote.

.......on our perfect world of "free market" capitalism Republicans, because they are happy. They're getting a veritable bonanza of everything they ever wanted with bonus points for keeping the Mexicans out of the country and making a new generation of extra dumb drop-outs to staff the minimum wage service industry and be consumers of crap and to be lifetime renters.

Most of the GOP are all in for a fascist dictatorship.
They are done with democracy.

And Trump is ruining their plans.
He is just the sleazy salesman and he may tank their brand.

They want someone smarter and more believable.
Who lies better and does not piss everyone off every minute of the day.

There isn't any deep state either. Not one that's going to black bag him.

all too afraid of the big, bad degenerate.

Rs in Congress are hopeless - which is why I frequently object to all the Dem bashing here.

Rich folks still want their tax cuts so they don't give AF about his insanity.

But...I do wonder what will happen when all the shipping shite hits the fan in a few weeks or so. Nicole's segment on that tonight was informative.

But you never know with him (or them) . He managed to orchestrate that ketchupy ear and look heroic to cultists. Two other people died IRL in that performance, but we never hear about them.

They must also feel it. Whether it’s being mocked, family killed or being thrown out of office. They will not turn on the orange Fanta until they fear the consequences of their cowardice more than they fear him.
