Related: About this forumApparently, the Trump-luvin' GOPrs are in the denial stage right now
We're still waiting for the Trump-hatin' GOPrs to finish with bargaining.
November can't come soon enough to put the Republican Party out of its misery.
What's really sad is that they did all of this to themselves, practicaliy begging for it.

When is the media going to talk about Hillary's policies that have gotten people killed, like Libya, open borders, and maybe her emails?

justify Trump's assassination threat... When they've been
spouting the same hateful violentbluster for years.
Blowback is a bitch.

(21,995 posts)The Republicans deserve a major league ass-whooping this November. They've stoked the hatred and bigotry for so long that it was inevitable that their party would implode.
I'm not the least bit sad, MrScorpio, and I hope you were being poetic when you wrote your post.

(73,630 posts)It's quite obvious that wingers are not very good at dealing with failure. They take the prospect of failing as a sign to be more nihilistic. They don't grow and learn because they're never allowed to fully fail.
Tough love is never an easy lesson to teach. Witnessing grief is never easy. But it's neither helpful if one does not transition through all of its stages.
By treating them with kid gloves they were allowed to kill off rational American conservatism a long time ago and they did that as a response to being coddled.
Rather than bringing it back, I expect them to pull out all of the stops and go straight into the neo-fascist stage. The only way we can stop them is by kicking as many of them out of office. Take away as much of their power as we can.
They're finally realizing the folly of their own decisions, the best thing that we do for them is to help them fail and allow them to reap the benefits of their own failure.
That way, they can grow. Kicking their asses is for their own good.
