They have betrayed the American people for partisan and personal gain at EVERY opportunity, and I wish them all to burn in the hottest fires of Hell. From opposing Social Security and Depression-era reforms in the 1930s, opposing civil rights efforts in the 1950s, 60s, 70s and today, to supporting trickle-down/piss-on economics to fatten the wealthy at the expense of the poor, to their support for wars in Vietnam and the Middle East that have bankrupted us, to their treatment of Obama and Hillary Clinton, to their treasonous recent efforts to undermine our democracy, they have ALWAYS been on the wrong side. And I wish them to feel the pain of those they have caused so much pain to. Look up 'Republican' in the dictionary, and it's between 'reptile' and 'repugnant'. I share your hatred of them.
