No republican is good. Period. We need to stop advocating for them.
Murkowski, Hogan, Romney all are republican and 100% responsible for trump's every action.
We need to stop kissing a Republican's ass every time they do or say anything remotely decent.
These people are monsters that have actively blocked well over 400 pieces of legislation from the House.
Actively blocked removing trump from office despite clear evidence against him
Actively supported keeping children in cages.
Actively trying to destroy healthcare, specifically the ACA
Actively worked against a women's right to control her own healthcare
Actively worked against the rights of the LGBTQ community
Directly responsible for the continued radicalization of the republican party base.
These people deserve our unending disdain and ridicule, not praise for occasionally doing or saying the right thing.
I will never praise Republicans for ANYTHING and will only advocate for their complete destruction as a political party.

(11,648 posts)Anything they say now is far too little, way too late. Weasels holding their finger up to see which way the breeze is blowing.

(149,606 posts)There are some, maybe only a few, who did not enable Trump.
Bill Clinton's SOS, William Perry, is one who I've met and know to be a man of intelligence and honor. He is not complicit in Trump's rise.
There are others. Colin Powell. And some whose names I cannot recall.
Yours is a broad brush, and well applied to the republicans of today. But it may be just a bit of overreach.

(8,698 posts)It reaches back to the days of Nixon (Bush Sr. A perfect example). Specifically though, all those associated with Reagan and moving forward. There was laid the true foundation for the radicalization of the right and Republicans in general.
While I respect your opinion, I find no redeeming quality in any republican.
I truly believe our nation is doomed as long as ANY republican has any political power of any kind. From dog catcher to president.
I strongly advocate for the destruction of the republican party.
For clarification, I obviously do not want anyone physically harmed or anything crazy like that. I just want their political powered neutered.

I still maintain that he is a responsible man, and on the whole, not a typical republican at all.

(11,301 posts)understand the sentiment (and share it with you on certain days) -- but blanket condemnation -- while perhaps satisfying -- doesn't take us anyplace productive. IMO

(63,845 posts)their game plan all along, they hated FDR for the new deal? I stand corrected if that term is not correct. They (repigs) never were for the Middle Class, and now in the present they have shown us how much disdain they have for us, even to the point of not passing a stimulus bill while one quarter of a million Americans have died.
They have our blood on their hands and we should never let them forget it.
