Let's Ignore the Elephant in the Room, GOP
It’s a massive, overwhelming elephant – being your “pResident’s” obvious corruption and criminal activity. But just for now, let’s pretend it isn’t there.
Even if we ignore the obvious, the question still remains: Why would any politician defend, protect, support and enable a man like Donald Trump – especially in light of the fact that doing so is causing your party to lose not only some of your own well-respected spokes-people, but the voters who are walking away from your party?
What I don’t understand is why you’ve decided that Trump is the hill you are willing to die on, and why you are willing to throw away the carefully-crafted image you have spent decades promoting.
So leaving aside the elephant – being the corruption that is being exposed on a daily basis, i.e. evidence of obstruction of justice, collusion with our enemies, violation of campaign finance laws, perjury, etc. – let’s go through the short list of exactly who you are willing to take a political bullet for:
A man dumb enough to believe that stealth bombers are literally invisible, and using wind power means your electricity shuts off when the wind dies down.
A man stupid enough to declare a national emergency with the words “I actually didn’t have to do this”.
A man oblivious enough to lie about things everyone knows he’s lying about.
A man ridiculous enough to tweet incomprehensible, mis-spelled, grammatically incorrect nonsense that a ten-year-old would be embarrassed to have composed.
A man insane enough to ramble on endlessly like a dementia sufferer while claiming to be a “stable genius”.
A man childish enough to make up derogatory nicknames for his perceived enemies.
A man unhinged enough to publicly declare that he and Kim Jung-Un are “in love”.
A man self-absorbed enough to actually believe his own obvious bullshit.
A man self-serving enough to use his position to flog cheap merchandise associated with the office of the presidency – and pocket the money generated.
A man corrupt enough to have racked-up over eight thousand misleading and/or false statements over a period of just two years.
A man idiotic enough to insist that he never said what millions have heard him say in statements and speeches that are readily available for all to see and hear.
A man stupid enough to appoint corrupt cronies to powerful positions in the belief that no one would notice when their corruption was inevitably exposed.
A man delusional enough to call himself a world expert on things he continually demonstrates he knows nothing about.
Really, GOP? This is the man you’re pinning your party’s future on? This is the man you’re ready to support, even if it means throwing your own country – and every principle it stands for – under the bus? This is the man you have chosen to stand with, come what may – even when what’s coming is a shitstorm that threatens our very democracy?
All that’s left to say is the obvious. You’ve put all your eggs in the basket of deplorables – which is the place where political power, political aspirations, and political survival go to die.
