Something to share and let sink quickly.

19. I would go so far as to say

that the GOP in its present form is anti-humanity, catering instead to a miniscule segment of rich and powerful. This is no more evident than in the current campaign against any & all efforts to curtail hydrocarbon emissions anywhere in the world. The powerbrokers behind the GOP cannot be so blind that they fail to recognize the monumental death and destruction that will result on a global scale if the current path is maintained. They expect to emerge unscathed in the event of catastrophe, and those who work on their behalf expect to be rewarded for their efforts with whatever handouts they can wheedle out of the powerbrokers.

That's another reason I consider the GOP irretrievably evil, as the world never before faced such a likelihood of destruction from climactic changes. The GOP's evolution from Lincoln's time to the present day is nothing compared to the reforms necessary to bring that party back from the precipice of worldwide annihilation. The powerbrokers are committed to retaining those reins of power by any means at their disposal, including disinformation, pandering to racism, financial manipulation, wars of conquest, etc. There is no hope of meaningful reform where the GOP is concerned.
