(21,836 posts)Teabaggers set up the country to fall victim to a fascist type candidate. They are the actual enemies of America.
On the night of Obamas Inauguration Mitch McConnell, Newt Gingrich, and numerous GOP leaders met to "conspire" to obstruct Obama in order to make him a one term President. As you know, they did not succeed at that, but they provided plenty of ammunition against him about being ineffective. The few short months when the Dems held the Senate and the House is often pointed to as a huge failure to pass a lot of progressive legislation, but they don't mention how the filibuster was used a record number of times during this period
.
The only monkey wrench thrown into the works was that a candidate of "their" choosing (Jeb!) was supposed to get the nomination. Along comes the Hitler wannabe, Trump, and pitches his tent on the plot they worked so hard to prepare. The GOP is totally responsible for this and most of them are far too cowardly to actively oppose the fascist. We must give credit where it is due, and hope (work) for the best.
Eliminating Trump would be a healthy start, but the GOP has to be reduced to rubble itself.
