Rec if you believe that republicans are cowards

[catbyte]

30. I've come to the conclusion that it's less cowardice and more like-mindedness.

Their lack of criticism goes way beyond them being scared that Benedict Donald will start mean tweeting them; I think they are actually okay with his cozy relationship with the Kremlin because they want to turn the United States of America into an authoritarian dictatorship. They see the writing on the (never-to-be-built) wall--demographics is turning against them so they have to concentrate power where and when they can. Soon demographics will overtake them and we will truly become a multi-racial democracy which is the Republicans' worst fear. They know they have no ideas. They know that they are utter incapable of governing in that multi-racial democracy, so they must suppress voting, they must attempt to discriminate as much as they can. They must keep the bigots riled up and resentful, placing the blame for their shitty lives on "all those brown people" instead of where it belongs--on the 1%.

Their valuing party over country began with Reagan, gathered steam with Gingrich, and has reached its apex now. If we can't stop them in 2018, we will be lost for at least a generation, perhaps longer--if we survive this Republican horror show.
