The Mirror is Coming and the Republicans are scared. [View all]

For years, they have talked about how violent blacks and liberals are. All the while lynching those few who showed a faith that Jesus would have recognized.

Antifa is just a new term in the long and violent terrorism that has made putting a liberal bumper sticker on your car an actual sign of bravery.

Manson and every other violent bastard has tried to blame the oppressed and start violence against them. Book burning, blackballing, censorship, and ruining careers is not a new tactic, but as long as the stamp on it said, "Conservative," the terrorism and silencing of voices was just fine and dandy.

The conservative agent taking actions to make it look like the oppressed committed crimes has become so obvious a thing that anyone paying attention now suspects that before believing the message on the wall.

So now conservatives are being faced with a society that they have been pushing for years. Instead of backing off and realizing they need to restrain their side before our side is going to listen, they are putting new energy into their screed of hate.

Meanwhile, a lot of us who believe in peace and living in a nation of laws have noticed that we can't possibly afford the deductible if something medical happens. A lot of us have stopped imagining Andy of Mayberry when we think of police.

A lot of us who would have thought about Alito's family a few short years ago are thinking of the thousands of coat hangers about to be repurposed.

Right now, if I were in charge, I would not hire a Republican, however qualified, for a medical position. I would not hire a Republican, no matter how qualified for an administrative or financial position. I would choose to go out of business first since I could predict and control the losses. I would reduce the size of my operation first. Why would I hire a person that wouldn't wear a mask to save others, vote to protect the rights of women and minorities, or be able to tell right from wrong in the simplest of situations.

So the old school requirement in business of a happy family and a nice church membership is now turned around. It was veiled racism and religious discrimination anyway.

Republicans, enjoy the mirror.
