I Can't Get Over How Blatantly Corrupt & Hypocritical The Repugs Are....

and how they seem to be systematically destroying our democracy. They are doing this so visibly and in full view of the media and the American People.

And I'm blown away by how so many American People are buying the crap that they are selling. I can't get over how so many American's believe everything they say and do. How can they not see right through the Repugs hypocrisy? It is so plain to see.

I'm really losing faith in a large portion of the American People.

How can there possibly exist black, gay and women's groups supporting the GOP? This boggles my mind.

I continue to resist the GOP, but I fear we may be in a losing battle. But as they say in Galaxy Quest, "Never give up. Never surrender."

I will not surrender my morals to the Republicans.

Can they not see truth v deception? right v wrong? progress v destruction?

How can they not see that when they do so, they BECOME the problem? (and I'm not talking Fox, they're a lost cause)

British..to Trump/Russia....an American Patriot..Paul Revere....


https://www.biography.com/news/paul-reveres-ride-facts

Narrowly escaping capture by a British patrol just outside of Charlestown, Revere changed his planned route somewhat and arrived in Lexington just past midnight. We do not know what he said at each of the houses along the road. We do know exactly what he said when he got to Lexington, however, as there was a sentry on duty outside the house where Adams and Hancock lodged, and that sentry, a Sergeant Monroe, later wrote down what happened. As Revere approached the house, Monroe told him not to make so much noise, that everyone in the house had retired for the night. Revere cried “Noise! You’ll have noise enough before long! The regulars are coming out!” Despite this, Revere still had trouble convincing the sentry to let him pass until John Hancock, who was still awake and heard the commotion, recognized Revere’s voice and said “Oh, you, Revere. We are not afraid of you” after which Revere was allowed to enter the house and deliver his news.

It's the one thing that wears me down the most. IOKIYAR - It's OK If You Are Republican

That I have friends & family who still support the GOP is heart breaking to me. They are evidently OK with fascism as long as their side does it. They are okay with violating rule of law as long as their side does it. They will excuse any kind of vile behavior & speech as long as it serves their agenda, which is evidently, to dismantle representative government. They are OK with taking away my representation. I'm saddened to see an aspect of their character that is so base. I will never look at them the same. And I find myself avoiding them.
