Dear Republicans:
You didnt object when you heard Donald Trump say he likes to grab women by the pussy.
You didnt object when he kicked the American media out of the Oval Office and handed two Russian spies classified data entrusted to him by one of our allies.
You didnt object when he likened our intelligence community to Nazis.
You didnt object when he stood before the Memorial Wall of Stars at Langley and told lie after lie about himself and the election.
You didnt object while at the Helsinki Summit, he met behind closed doors with the Russian President.
You didnt object to him banning the American Press from covering that meeting.
You didnt object when he emerged from that meeting and sided with the Russian President over the findings of our own intelligence community.
You didnt object when the Trump campaign admitted to accepting Russian offers to help him defeat SecState Clinton.
You didnt object when he stood before the cameras and said; Russia, if youre listening, I hope youre able to find 30k e-mails that are missing.
You didnt object when the Russians responded that VERY DAY with stolen emails.
You didnt object when it was confirmed that the basis for the Trump Tower meeting was a total fabrication. That it had nothing to do with adopting Russian children, and everything to do with swinging the election.
You didnt object when it was revealed that Trump himself floated the cover story of adoptions from Russia.
You didnt object when it was confirmed that his campaign staff had met with Russian agents over 150 times, after claiming they had never met with them at all.
You didnt object when the Trump campaign declined to inform the FBI about the Russian advances.
You didnt object when Trumps campaign manager gave internal data on four key battleground states to agents working for Putin.
You sure as hell didnt object when those very same four battleground states miraculously shifted towards Trump on Election Day.
You didnt object when Trump kicked his Attorney General out of the room and asked the FBI Director to let his National Security Advisor off the hook for lying about his contacts with Russian agents.
You didnt object when Trump fired that FBI Director for declining to let Flynn off the hook.
You didnt object when Special Counsel Robert Mueller said he couldnt establish a conspiracy, largely because so many of Trumps staffers lied during their interviews, and because Trump himself refused to submit to a live interview.
You didnt object when Special Counsel Mueller cited no fewer than ten instances of the president himself obstructing justice in his report: an impeachable offense.
You didnt object when it was revealed he cheated on his wife with a porn star.
You didnt object when it was revealed that he paid off that porn star to the tune of $130,000.00 to buy her silence just prior to the election, an illegal attempt to hide relevant facts from the electorate.
You didnt object when he withdrew the U.S. from the JCPOA, which was the first and ONLY treaty thats successfully kept Iranian nuclear ambitions in check.
You didnt object when he pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accords.
You didnt object when he scuttled the Obama administrations clean air and water standards.
You didnt object when he opened up vast tracts of protected wilderness to his friends in the oil and mining industries.
You didnt object to the myriad cases of violations of the emoluments clause.
You didnt object when he mocked a disabled man at one of his rallies.
You didnt object to the recently-discovered military stopovers at Trump properties in Scotland.
You didnt object when after mass shooting after mass shooting, he wouldnt lift a finger to protect even little school children from gun violence.
You didnt object when he started putting tariffs on everyone from China to Turkey, which have undeniably hurt millions of people around the world and shaken the stock markets.
You didnt object when he gave the corporate farming industry $26B in compensation for their losses due to his tariffs.
You didnt object when he channeled $3.6B in Pentagon appropriations to his wall on the Mexican border.
You didnt object when Trump called out against Islamic terrorism on multiple occasions, but never once for terrorism by white nationalists.
You didnt object when he forcibly separated little children from their parents.
You didnt object when he confined those children to chain-link paddocks.
You didnt object when a whistleblower revealed the president had on multiple occasions said things that potentially undermined our nations safety and security.
You didnt object when his personal lawyer, his personal consultant, and his army of sycophants at Fox News have repeatedly and consistently lied about ALL of the above for three excruciatingly long years.
So heres my question for you: What about any of the above do you believe entitles you to the right to call yourselves patriots? In anything other than todays bizarro-world, you wouldnt even make the rank of American. When this nightmare ends, well remind you of just how patriotic you were during these days. Your karma is gonna sting.
