Honestly, I think the GOP doesn't care that Trump is destroying them.

The GOP has sold out their principles, their core policies, their love for their country, decades worth of identity.

For power.

And it wasn't even a hard decision.

Attacking the free market, attacking law-enforcement and US intelligence, attacking the military alliances and trade-deals that made the US the most powerful nation on Earth.



And what did they get in exchange?
They get to stack the courts with conservative judges, they get tax-cuts, they get one step closer to outlawing abortion, they get one step closer to Dominionism.



The GOP knows perfectly well that a considerable segment of the voter-population will never vote against them and for the Democrats, now matter how depraved and despicable they get.

So why would they stop?

The whole election-system of the US is archaic and profoundly undemocratic and tilted in favor of the Republicans. Even if the people vote against them in droves, the GOP can still get enough seats to wield outsized influence.

So why would they stop?



Trump has destroyed the GOP as it was and Republicans don't even care. Why would they?

666Beast-45 is finished, the rapture will occur, the Xians will be taken into heaven, and America will be a helpless mess. It is their perfect plan for screwing the godless DEMs.

These people are crazy.

They line up behind their nominee, no matter who it is. For them it's far more important that ANY Republican get elected, than ANY Democrat.

They are totally party blind.

was the goal.

Could be decades before we can overcome the damage.

Thanks Jill Stein voters. And those who would not vote for lesser of 2 evils...

I pray those people learned something about their actions...
