"Are You People Still OK with This Shit? Really?" [View all]

Are You People Still OK with This Shit? Really?
by Jaime O’Neill | July 28, 2025 - 5:13am


How do young parents explain Republicans to their children? How go people come home from church and still turn on Fox “News”? How do people pretend they have decency and still circle the wagons to protect pedophiles?

Really? Lots of us just don’t get it. We haven’t gotten it since that “pussy grabbing” tape before the son of a bitch got elected the first time, with obvious help from Russians and who knows who else.

Most of us didn’t even have to adjust our moral compass and/or turn it to “off” in order to figure it out. When we saw clips of him mocking a reporter with a disability, we didn’t have to ask ourselves if that was ever ok? Didn't you see those clips, too?

Who could continue to get their info about the world from Fox, or Breitbart, or Newsmax, or Sinclair Broadcasting after so many serial tsunamis of lies, distortions, and excuses for all this mayhem? How could anyone be persuaded to believe that everything critical of Trump has been just “fake news”? How much willful mindlessness is required to still be doing that?

Who in hell can watch Republicans take a vacation to avoid having to vote on the release of the Epstein files? Who in hell could be so corrupted or so naive as to deny what is utterly obvious? Major obstruction of justice going on here.

Honest to God, how could you continuously renew your support for such a man, and what does that say about you if you did? Were you raised by wolves, or does it malign actual wolves to even make such a comparison?

How can you say you give a damn about this country or about your children's futures and still remain blind to the threats posed to democracy and to the future of this planet by this man and his fellow billionaires?
