The Republican Party is dead: GOP strategist stunned by reception to Trump's 'unhinged' CPAC speech

[RVN VET71]

25. There are no good Republicans anymore

Like the elusive "good Nazi" in the 30's, they either stayed because they were never any good in the first place -- or they left when Trump arrived on the scene and made it OK to spew racist, homophobic, xenophobic, and bigoted filth publicly.

Any lingering doubters surely tore their membership cards up when they saw what Trump did after Charlottesville and, later, in Helsinki. Anyone who is still a Republican is tied to everything Trump and King and the Proud Boys stand for, period. They tacitly support collusion with dictators like Putin, Saudi's ruling Prince, Kim, and Duterte. They are in agreement with and fully supportive of financial fraud, treasonous deals with our nation's most dangerous enemy, racist actions by psychopathic police, kidnapping children and casting them into abusive baby jails. They are in agreement that the American media is the "enemy of the people" and that journalists working for American newspapers who are murdered and dismembered by a savage and sadistic regime carry no weight when compared to the money America can make doing deals with the murderer.

They are, simply stated, shameless soldiers for greed and the dissolution of everything that was ever "great" about America.

(Yeah, I used to be one of them, Republicans, I mean, but I got out when George H.W. Bush used blatantly racist ads -- remember Willie Horton? -- to win one presidential election and wrapped himself in the American Flag -- by pushing jingoistically for a flag burning amendment -- in an unsuccessful bid to win another. I'm not really a Democrat, but I lean liberal-socialist these days and find myself daydreaming that AOC is really 35 years old. It's been a long, strange trip, indeed!)
