(11,327 posts)Trump upended the power hierarchies of the Republican Party. The LP people were used to having power and influence. He messed with their comfortable slop trough.
They want to be back in charge again.
Fine. But this whole, So wise, so patriotic, true Americans! bullshit is nauseating. These are the people who were 100% on board with Bush and Cheneys disasters. These are people who worship Reagan. These are the people who brought us Palin and the Tea Party.
They are not friends, they do not have sound judgement, and they will fuck us as well as anyone once theyre back in power.
Im getting real suspicious of those effusively praising and defending people while forever criticizing progressives. I cannot wait til Jan 21st, when we will suddenly need to pass policies to keep these people in the fold. Then anyone who objects can be called wailing purists by the moderates who will make nice with Republicans while disdaining a good portion of the Democratic base.
I know thats in the mail. Id lay a mortgage payment on it.
