'This is how the world ends': Rick Wilson accuses GOP leaders of destroying America to entertain Fox

'This is how the world ends': Rick Wilson accuses GOP leaders of destroying America to entertain Fox News viewers

Former Republican strategist Rick Wilson railed against Republican elected officials' on Tuesday, claiming their rhetoric and behavior would lead to the destruction of American institutions.

Wilson fired off a series of tweets as the GOP governors of Florida and Texas actively work against measures that could halt the coronavirus surges burning through their states, and some Republican lawmakers work to undermine trust in vaccines and democracy itself.

"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea," Wilson began. "Let's review the bidding: the governors of two of the largest states are letting COVID burn because muh freedumb plays to an audience of a network owned by a crank Aussie billionaire."

"Yesterday, one member of the US Senate said it was just fine for a President of the United States to plot an overthrow of the election with his claque of skells, mooks, jabrones, degenerate fops, soulless harpies, wannabe Leninists, and natpop snake-human hybrids," Wilson said, referring to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and then turning his attention to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). "Another U.S. Senator is the leading antivaxxer in American public life, again lying that muh freedumb is at stake if we all just try to work together to defeat COVID. There's a reason he's a consistent finalist on America's Most Punchable."

I am so fucking sick of weak Democrats who let weeks, months drift by while Republicans continue to dismantle democracy.

But Democratic long knives come out for any fellow Democrat who is called out for inappropriate behavior (Andrew Cuomo), or a mistake (Newsom), or is too “progressive” (AOC).

Seriously, we are now in a soft civil war. An appropriate response would be, “If anybody should resign or be recalled, it should be DeathSantis and Abbott, because their consistent irresponsible actions are killing people in FL and TX.”
