In all Honesty did you think the right would go this low????

[brettdale]

That they would abuse kids who survived a school massacre.

[Downtown Hound]

1. Of course

The American right today cares about nothing and nobody but their own power and there is no low they will not go to to protect it. Any talk of morality, patriotism, or benevolence from them is and always has been horseshit.

[dameatball]

2. They were hesitant until the right wing propaganda machines kicked in.....now they re back on board

[malaise]

3. Yes - they said Sandy Hook was a hoax

and much worse than that about those lil dead children, their educators and their parents.

[dawg]

6. Exactly.

Their reaction to Sandy Hook told me all that I needed to know.

[malaise]

8. And then some

[Meowmee]

22. This

Nothing surprises me about how low they will go.

[rurallib]

30. after Sandy Hook I understood there was no bottom to their craziness.

eta - what is really sad is that there is a third of this country that follows them.

[mountain grammy]

34. Yes, that's when they lost it,

any credibility at all.

[dhol82]

4. In all honesty, no

Never did I ever think that human beings in political life would become such scum.
It is not just the school kids. It is the entire inability to see the evil that they have unleashed on this country.

[dlk]

5. Yes-They Have No Conscience & Will Attack Anyone to Win. Sandy Hook Taught us That

There is no bottom of lowness for Republicans.

[Mr. Ected]

7. They've been brainwashed to think that progressives are their enemy

It's amazing what you can install between someone's ears when you flip that particular switch.

[JNelson6563]

9. Band aids w/purple hearts.

Lying us into war. Outing a CIA agent. Yeah, I knew they would. GOP knows no floor. No low is too low.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. I really wouldn't put anything past them. Or lower.

There is no bottom to their barrel; remember, Trump made fun of a disabled man. He and his minions are bullies and nobody is safe from their abuse. They're just adult versions of the mean kids in middle school who picked on the fat kids, the kids with thick glasses or braces; the poor ones, the clumsy ones, the developmentally disabled ones, the minorities. We are living in a huge, dystopian middle school.

[PatrickforO]

11. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Of course they will go 'that low.'

[Generic Brad]

12. They are definitely bottoming out

Their world is on the verge of collapsing. They are lashing out like wounded animals.

[kskiska]

13. Then there's Puerto Rico.

Just unconscionable.

[Angry Dragon]

14. conservatives are cowards

[Cha]

15. YES.

And, look what happened to LI.

[Solly Mack]

16. They invent new depths of low and enjoy the doing.

So, no surprises.

[CanonRay]

17. I still don't think they have hit bottom

[LonePirate]

20. Agreed. They can and will go far lower. I fear violence by them is just a matter of time.

If a Republican wipeout in November becomes more and more likely as the days pass by, I think they will resort to anything to maintain their power and protect their moronic, bigoted leader.

[LenaBaby61]

39. "I still don't think they have hit bottom."

Agree.

This thuglican CON-gress has no bottom.

[GulfCoast66]

18. They have no choice

When you have no intellectual argument your only recourse is attack.

After 30 years it is their only response

[Skittles]

19. NEVER think repukes have hit rock bottom

they will ALWAYS find a way to go lower - *ALWAYS*

[Turbineguy]

21. Lower.

Always Lower.

It's their idea of TQM.

[vercetti2021]

23. Low intelligence

It's basic instinct to attack when they feel threatened

[sharedvalues]

27. John Stuart Mill, 150 years ago

I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it.





In a Parliamentary debate with the Conservative MP, John Pakington (May 31, 1866). Hansard, vol 183, col 1592. Pakington was referring to Footnote 3 to Chapter 7 of Mill's "Considerations on Representative Government".

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

24. I had no doubt whatever

`

[kairos12]

25. Yes. They think anyone opposing their positions are the anti-christ.

[sharedvalues]

26. Im a little surprised at the Congress

I thought congress would do something to check this president.


I underestimated the thirst for power on the right. And the degree to which GOP politicians are purchased by billionaires. All the smart independent people have been pushed out of the GOP. All that are left are apparatchiks and fools.

[Ferrets are Cool]

28. There is no depth too deep for them to pull shit from

[ismnotwasm]

29. Yup

[gibraltar72]

31. I really thought Ratpublicans

were smart enough to know to leave the kids alone. Obviously I gave them way to much credit.

[RainCaster]

32. Did you really think they wouldn't?

What have they ever done that would convince you otherwise?

[gibraltar72]

45. I didn't mean to indicate a level of decency.

I just thought it self evident you screw with these kids at your own peril. I believe their rot is boundless. I just gave them more credit for survival instincts.

[LenaBaby61]

46. What have they ever done that would convince you otherwise?

Especially with THIS and other ignorant, racist, sexist hogs in the CON-gress.



🤮🤮

[sfwriter]

33. yes....

I have friends who have been shot at by conservatives.
I've had a death threat from a conservative.

Oh yeah, and they will go lower still.

They are like southern democrats in 1850 demanding northern states enforce their slave laws. Look at where "no compromise" took them.

I fear we are on that path.

[GoCubsGo]

35. Absolutely, and I don't believe there is a bottom for them to hit.

I would be shocked if they behaved like decent human beings, which is something I have never seen in the more than 50 years of my existence.

[Tumbulu]

36. Oh yes. And much lower

They are mean spirited people who assign their motives to others.

[easttexaslefty]

37. Yes

I did.
They don't surprise me anymore

[LenaBaby61]

38. YES.

[magicarpet]

40. Acting outlandish, repulsive, and highly offensive against liberals is a badge.....

.... of courage and honor to them and excites and satisfies their sick minds.

[tblue37]

41. I have never underestimated how low the right would go. Nor have I ever

underestimated how unlikely they would be to control themselves when they felt the urge to go lower despite the risk of public backlash.

[liberalhistorian]

42. They abused and continue to abuse

parents whose children were murdered in a school massacre, and they abuse survivors of other mass shootings, and attempt to sweep all such shootings under the rug no matter how many victims (Las Vegas, anyone?). So, yeah, it doesn't surprise me in the least. Look who their media people are and how horrible they've been for many years.

[Orange Free State]

43. Yes. I think that the bottom limit is...

...how low they can go before it costs them more votes that it gets them. The only good thing that will come of this is if Trump splits the Republican Party into two separate parties. One for the Deplorables, another for people who are fiscally or socially conservative, but sane and horrified by Trump. Neither would have enough voters to do a lot. One can but hope. Perhaps an alternative party could be encouraged to be formed, one like the old GOP.

[njhoneybadger]

44. There is no bottom

And if they win this propaganda war we're finished. It doesn't look like we have a plan to fight it.
All the futuristic dystopian fiction we read about is here.

[nini]

47. They're capable of much worse.

Anyone who is remotely surprised is not familiar with history with these fuckers.

My grandparents taught us from day one about their crap - having survived the Depression they wanted to make sure we knew how rotten they are and NEVER trust them.

They would screw over their own mothers if it made them a dollar.

[xor]

48. I wouldn't have thought it five years ago.

I mean, I would have expected it from a minority of people on the internet, but I wouldn't have expected nearly as many people to stoop to the current level of classlessness.

[MaryMagdaline]

49. Yes.

They made fun of a handicapped reporter. Nothing else to know.

[awesomerwb1]

50. You seem surprised?

When will we learn???

THEY HAVE NO SHAME.

It's been long overdue for Dems to take their gloves off.

I'm not surprised one bit personally.

[dchill]

51. They are redefining low. We're in uncharted territory.

[pnwmom]

52. I didn't think they would stand by DT. I thought they would dump him

at the first opportunity. And there would be plenty of votes from Democrats, of course, to impeach and convict him.

I thought DT was the GOP's Trojan horse for Pence.

Wrong. They didn't care who was President, as long as he would sign their bills.

[Flaleftist]

53. Yes. nt

[still_one]

54. Yes. The way they behaved with President Obama, absolutely

[JHB]

55. Did you honestly think they wouldn't?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

56. This reminds me when Osama Bin Laden was killed.

It took the right three whole days to take what was a clear win for Obama and find some way to frame it negatively. They finally came up with, "Obama's trying to take the credit away from the brave men in Seal Team Six" (he never did this). Then they found some ex-Seal Team member to "swift boat" the President, and made sure he appeared on every Fox News show.

It's all part of the right's playbook.

[regnaD kciN]

57. That's like asking "did you really think water would be wet?"

I've concluded that right-wingers essentially developed their view of reality in high school, where the strong always won, and any sign of weakness made one deserving of being bullied into oblivion. What we’re seeing today, just like everything we've been seeing in the Republican Party since Nixon honored the "hardhats" who attacked peaceful anti-war protesters, is the essence of that worldview, sadly.

[John Fante]

58. I'm surprised. Not because I thought the better angels

of their nature would take over but because of how evil and petty it makes them look. The optics are unbelievably bad and STILL they can't help themselves.

Conservatives... attacking the underage survivors of a school massacre! This is a surreal moment in history.

Note: I'm referring to mainstream conservatives here. The far right deplorables don't know the meaning of the word "too low".

[Aristus]

59. There is no bottom with them.

When they hit bedrock, they get out a jackhammer and keep going...

[Crunchy Frog]

60. Yes. n/t

[akbacchus_BC]

61. I never thought republicans, especially the ones in the Senate

would stoop so low. If they do not care about little children or teenagers being killed at school, one wonders if they would give a shit when a cop shoots an unarmed black man or child.

The republicans have reached a new low and one wonders how there could be 'two americas'! For me, it is mind boggling! The republicans discard life and the Democrats preserve life and it pisses me off that an asshole got elected. What were the founding fathers thinking? Their vision is archaic and there needs to be electoral reform!

[mercuryblues]

62. there is no bottom for the assholes

If they can go after families of a military killed in action, going after mass shooting survivors isn't a stretch.

[raven mad]

63. Ye$.

$ince Nixon.

[UCmeNdc]

64. Yes! Their actions speak louder than words.
