Spot-on!The Real Reason the GOP Supports a Lying, Corrupt, Narcissistic, Failed Real Estate Hustler and Reality TV Star
Throughout the second half of the 1800s and into the first half of the 20th century, American conservatives fought to keep racial segregation and to stop the rise of labor unions, all on behalf of the "billionaires" of their era, popularly called the Robber Barons.
From the 1960s to today, American conservatives have fought to let modern billionaires and big corporations run our economy and our political system, further cementing their power over America's working class.
"Lower taxes and deregulation," racially specific "law and order," and "small government" were their singular mantras, all in service of the uber-rich and giant, monopolistic corporations.
Now, with Trump's impeachment trial, Americas conservatives have turned their efforts from protecting their rich patrons to protecting the dynasty of a lying, corrupt, narcissistic, failed real estate hustler and reality TV star.
Some suggest that the GOP "has lost their soul," but conservatives in America, having called themselves by various political names over the years, never really had a soul.
They promoted slavery because they believed in white supremacy and free labor to help elite whites become wealthy oligarchs.
They fought labor unions and corporate taxes because gutting both would help elite whites remain wealthy oligarchs.
And today they are fighting like their lives depend on it to defend the right of a criminal billionaire oligarch to tear America apart and try, again, to turn us over to fascist strongman rule.
Ultimately, none of these conservative positions through the history of our country have served average people in anyway whatsoever; instead, from the beginning, conservatives have exclusively served great wealth and helped it to achieve and hold political power.
Trump and Trumpism represents the culmination of a century-long crisis for American conservatives.

BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

not sure mainstream repubs were all that supportive of racism, as much as their policies screwed over ALL poor people, all disadvantaged people, all sick and infirm people, and their kids, and there just happened to be such a high percentage of blacks among that demographic. but other than that, pretty accurate.

This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

No, racism and similar lowlife cracker attributes are essential to the Seditionist-Republican game plan.
The Seditionist-Republican Party is controlled by a small handful of corrupt oligarchs who by themselves don't comprise enough votes to do anything.
They advance their vile agenda by pandering to uneducated white racists--one of the larger demographic groups in America although no longer constituting a majority by themselves.
They get these "people" to vote directly against their own economic best interests by pandering to their racism and other vile attributes.
This used to be enough, but now those uneducated white racists no longer constitute a majority that can control the government.
The second half of the plan, essential to Seditionist-Republican survival, is at any cost suppressing the votes of everybody else.
If this second plan succeeds, the oligarchs will continue to steal everything until there's nothing left.
At that point, they'll become broke ass ass crackers themselves.
The reduction of the Republic to dystopic anarchy will be complete, and it's not far off.

Good editorial.
The QOP is all of that. Yet they found genius marketing specialists and have convinced the very people that they want to keep down -- blue collar workers of all races -- that the (D)s are their enemies and only the QOP (and #TRE45ON) cares about the things that matter to them. They throw out words like "guns," "Jesus," "welfare," "China," etc. to hook 'em, and then they reel them in with the Naziesque spectacles that #TRE45ON favors at his rallies. Like a trout on his way to the frying pan, they don't even realize they've been caught.

Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
“We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”
Irony coming from a clueless lying leftist hack who supports a Lying, Corrupt, Narcissistic, Senile, Inept, Failed Government Leach like Biden.
You lying hypocrites really should just STFU. You're embarrassing yourselves. Lucky for you that you're too stupid to comprehend the obvious.

A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.
