I just needed to preach to the choir here.

Mass shootings of innocent Americans are increasing.
Republicans block anything from being done to prevent this.

Deaths and disasters are increasing because of global warming.
Republicans eliminate any government policies to minimize this.

Increasing numbers of asylum seekers arrive at the border.
Republicans take their children away, lock them in cages then send them back to be murdered.

The Republican party is the party of death.
The Republican party is party of destruction.
The Republican party is the end of everything America proclaimed it stood for.

I've just had two long calls from associates who were venting about the exact things you have stated here. I agree 100% with what you said here.

I can't believe they take pride in that fact. They are the party of greedy, selfish sadists as well as the party of hypocrisy. I can't think of a single positive adjective to describe them. Most people would find this sad but they relish it.

The GOF, (Grand Old Fascists) should really ditch the elephant, now.

I propose the Grim Reaper or a booth stamping a human face, with the word FOREVER! on it. I think Orwell would have approved.

I guess it is a real yin-yang thing, huh? They identify with "pro-life", family values, etc., and yet, as you pointed out, their actions point again and again to being the opposite. I think there is a lesson to be learned from that about duality in general.

The wolves in sheep's clothing do a great job of convincing the hens to enthusiastically and repeadetly elect a fox as the guard for the hen house.

Oh, and the ReFascists are also the party of cruelty.

I hope we're watching the death spiral of the Republican party. I hope this finally does them in completely.

Native Americans, trapping and logging, slavery?

Rulers exploit for their own benefit. And preach tolerance.

You think your ideas were novel???
