Marco Rubio is already suiting up for the politics of destruction

[Zorro]

Opinion by Fred Hiatt

Let’s say you’re a Republican senator who claims to support democracy and U.S. leadership in the world.

Let’s imagine, too, that you’ve spent four years excusing and supporting a president who fawned over North Korea’s odious dictator, encouraged China’s ruling tyrant to build his concentration camps, took the word of Russia’s strongman over U.S. intelligence agencies and celebrated the Saudi despot who orchestrated the dismemberment of a dissident journalist.

And let’s posit that, on top of all that, you’ve been a profile in cowardice as your president tried to nullify a democratic election here at home.

Now the president-elect appoints a team of seasoned, moderate foreign policy experts who support democracy and American leadership in the world.

How do you respond?

Rubio is an odious little pipsqueak.

Every Republican should be asked the question: "Why do you hate American democracy?"

Make them squirm.

1. Can we seperate him and his family, deport him back to

Cuba a generation later? He is a Cuban citizen by Cuba’s standards, no?

I know this is small-minded and probably prejudiced of me, but Rs who are first generation Americans who push the liberals are socialists/communist stuff as well as go all in on tax cuts, attack social security, Medicare and the ACA, and/or tell me what frigging religion the United States is, really fucking irk me!

2. The Corporate Media has been

scape goading new Immigrants for decades. This meme with the Rethugs started back in the late Forties as a way to denigrate Truman. The real spewing voice was Joe McCarthy,Roy Cohn,and Richard Nixon. Up and coming Republican Pols picked up on the brashness of McCarthy and his usage of the media for personal gain more than previous Pols,and how effective he was in spreading his hate filled messages.

Rubio as well Gingrich and others just applied these same tactics knowing full well they would not get any push back from Media which at the time figured out the Infotainment Model was also a profit model and on air guest drove ratings and Ad revenue.

Controversy sells a ton of soap. And Rubio thinks he is relevant.

6. Translation into English of what Rubio is whining about

From the original Republicanese into coherent English:

"I am a candidate for the nomination of the Republican Party for President of the United States in 2024."
