If they are silent, perhaps no one will notice?
God forbid they speak any criticism of their insane leader.
He can be as sacrilegious as he wants - they will say nothing. He can hawk Bibles and brag about how many he has in his golden temple. No problem.
He can be as violent as he desires. He can portray his political opponent as hog-tied in the back of a pick-up truck with a bullet hole in the head. No problem. It's best they remain silent.
He can threaten our freedoms and the rule of law and Republicans have no problem. Unless it is about the border or Hunter Biden's computer, they have nothing to say.
May they remain silent when it is their lifeless bodies piled in the back of pick-up trucks. May their families never be exposed to the violence they support with their silence.

Just like insurrectionist congress members have been able to run for office without any legal repercussions or issues hanging over their heads. It's as disgusting as it is staggering.

(37,629 posts)These images & the two-tiered justice system they represent make me so angry I can hardly stand to look at them.
But, I seem to recall that there was a secret closet in the bedroom that the FBI over-looked in their search warrant?
