Having watched Republicans in action, I have come to certain conclusions. Their mileage may differ but given their statements and actions, I really cant think of any other possible explanations for their behaviour.
Republicans are sadists. They obviously get off on seeing people suffer. Why else would they consistently try to take things like healthcare away from their own countrymen, refuse to up the minimum wage so that people can actually live on their earnings, and prevent the down-and-out from accessing the social safety-nets that keep them alive?
Republicans are Satanists. They claim to be Christians, but they invariably do the opposite of what Jesus himself admonished them to do. They do not feed the hungry, clothe the sick, or shelter the homeless on the contrary, they consistently gut funding for programs aimed at doing exactly what The Nazareen directed them to do. We can only assume that they are Satan-worshippers who are doing his bidding, rather than the bidding of the God they pretend to adore.
Republicans are stupid and that kind of goes without saying. They react to scientific fact the same way vampires react to crucifixes and holy water they hiss, they spit, and they throw their hands up to cover their faces, terrified that an actual fact lobbed in their direction will result in a horribly painful death.
Republicans are unpatriotic. They talk a good game about respecting the flag and honouring our veterans who have served, but they leave our vets without proper care and are only interested in the flag when a football game is involved. They have attacked Gold Star families, and now believe that John McCain is not a hero because he got caught and spent years being tortured in a POW camp.
Republicans hate our freedoms. If they didnt, they wouldnt use every effort to curtail them. From denying women their Constitutionally-protected rights to dominion over their own bodies to ensuring that minorities are denied their right to vote, they consistently fight against the very notion that our freedoms are sacrosanct.
Republicans hate law and order. They ignore the laws that are inconvenient to their self-serving agenda, and now support a pResident who has declared himself above the law. The closest Republicans ever come to observing Law & Order is watching reruns of the TV series.
Republicans abhor education. They promote revisionist history being taught in our schools, and want to see public education abolished. Their goal is obvious: an uneducated American is the best consumer of their bullshit.
Republicans hate children. They deny them food, education and even their parents. We can only wonder how many GOPers are whacking-off to the news that babies and toddlers are being locked in cages right now.
Republicans are racists. If they werent, they wouldnt turn a blind eye to how many of our black/brown fellow citizens are literally gunned-down on the street, or how many of them are incarcerated for crimes that white folk get a slap on the wrist for.
Republicans are hypocrites a concept that really needs no introduction nor explanation. Who else would claim to be models of good family values while kissing the ass of a lying, pussy-grabbing adulterer? Who else would lay claim to being fiscally responsible while plunging the country into unprecedented debt in order to enrich themselves and their political donors? Who else would insist on civility in our political discourse while supporting a pResident who has yet to utter a civil word towards those who oppose him?
Republicans are corrupt but dont take my word for it. Just look at the ever-growing list of GOPers who are under indictment, have pled guilty to crimes against the country, or are under investigation for using taxpayer money for their personal enrichment. Does the name Scott Pruitt ring a bell?
Republicans are mentally-deficient. They actually believe that showing up in the Senate with a snowball proves that climate change is a hoax seriously, they actually do.
Republicans are liars. They tell their constituents that theyre on the side of the hard-working, middle-class who vote for them and then fuck them over by giving them crumbs instead of the massive tax-cuts they promised. How many kitchen renovations, new cars, and expensive vacations did their supporters actually get, despite being told theyd be getting them?
Republicans are devoid of human feeling. They see innocent children being caged, and parents being denied any information about their childrens whereabouts and they relish the very idea that this human suffering is taking place.
Republicans are dumb-asses. They will believe anything. They currently believe that a man who has lied about everything from the size of his inauguration crowd to the size of his dick is an honest man. They dont even question his lies they just alter their perception of the truth every time he does a 180 turn on what he said yesterday when he says the complete opposite twenty-four hours later.
Republicans are traitors. They applaud the man who colluded with our enemies, and who has distanced us from our traditional allies. They clutched their pearls and retired to their fainting couches when Hillary called them deplorables and then went on to prove that she was right.
Republicans are spineless. They claim to be strong, independent protectors of our country and yet they cower in Trumps shadow. Its ironic that they rail against athletes who take a knee, when they themselves kneel before an ignorant fool and virtually fellate him at every opportunity to do so.
Republicans are anti-American. They elected, and continue to support, the man who praises our nations enemies and insults our global allies. They are indifferent to their Dear Leaders obvious goal of destroying our democracy while exalting the virtues of the despotic dictators who control their people through fear and intimidation.
Republicans are truly the Enemy of the People. They cannot point to a single thing they have done to protect us, to uphold our democratic principles, or to stand up to the pResident they wilfully and with malice aforethought installed in the Oval Office.
Republicans are mother-fuckers, and those who havent realized that by now are those who simply dont give a shit if their own mothers along with their country and their fellow citizens get fucked.
If anyone has an alternative fact to offer in order to dispute the aforementioned, Id be glad to hear it. But needless to say, Im not holding my breath.

(4,033 posts)who believe the Lucy will actually hold the football this time, that the Prince from Nigeria actually picked them to help him smuggle $25 million out of the country and will pay them 10% of that for their help, and that FOX News actually tells the truth and that it is the Democrats that are causing all the problems they are having. Of course these are the same people who believe in trickle-down economics, no matter how many times it fails.
And these folks, along with Russian hackers who can rig the voting machines to get them to the plutocracy they have been working toward for 50 years.

(81,440 posts)as I personally can remember. To see it all dashed against the rocks - as the know-nothings cheer. They just do not get it. They're happy being mean and nasty and selfish and resentful of anyone else they think is somehow victimizing them. They are their OWN victims. One of these days they're liable to turn around and realize that all those nice tax cuts that these fiends talked up nonstop have gone somewhere else. The piddling pennies they've received will be more than overwhelmed by rising prices everywhere. Like at the grocery store - where all that produce will be less plentiful and far more expensive. They didn't want immigrants coming into this country, when many of them would take the menial, low-paying jobs in the fields and orchards and farms, jobs that they themselves think they're too good for. And if they get sick, that dreaded Affordable Care Act will be shredded into microfibers. So they'll be coughing up more money for that. Whatever tax "cut" they got won't even begin to offset those expenses.
And about those jobs? When Harley Davidson becomes only the first in a long line of companies moving their manufacturing overseas to avoid higher costs in this new era of punitive tariffs, gee - I wonder if some of these folks will even notice. Then they'll be told the Democrats did it. And they won't even realize that's a lie. Certainly the growing lack of funding to our public school system will contribute to their growing stupidity. But the CONS like that. The less well-educated the masses are, the easier it is to steer them as far down the garden path as possible. And force-feeding them the "company line" from Pox Noise and now, Sinclair stations, looks like the brainwashing is almost complete.
Today is the first day I've actually felt pessimistic about the future of this country. Thanks Anthony Kennedy. Thanks for a whole lotta NOTHING.
