The Silver Lining in an otherwise dark four years

- Republicans can’t claim to be Pro-Life anymore

- Republicans can’t claim to be patriots after showing how they hate our democracy and democratic government, and are pro-fascist (“only one party wanted to overturn democracy because they didn’t like the result, that’s not patriotic”)

- Republicans show how they hate the elderly in that they left them largely in harms way of the coronavirus in a stupid attempt at herd immunity (or just plain extreme selfishness.)

- Republicans confirmed to everyone that they are the party of white racists, and which sadly led to them not doing shit about the coronavirus in large part because it was killing a lot of blacks and latinx people.

- Republicans confirmed their Nazi tendencies with both the attempted genocide using the coronavirus as well as the caging of children and separating them from their parents.

- Republicans confirmed to everyone how dumb they are, including following bizarre conspiracy theories including QAnon, and including the sacking of the Capitol building largely by nitwits who did not think they would be punished.

- Republicans have confirmed that they are the party of cowards with how the party cowered to Trump for four years, even with awful displays of cowardice (Lindsay Graham as an example.)

- No one can ever say that there’s no difference between both parties since Trump has shown that they are the party of empty suits, racism, greed, hyper selfishness, idiocy, insanity, toxic masculinity, bullying, authoritarianism, and violence.

Not with footage of them beating and brutalizing officers at the Capitol, even beating one with an American flag.

They don't get to claim the mantle of "law and order" either.
