Republicans accept no responsibility for this disaster they have thrust upon us.

[kentuck]

They sit idly by, clinging to their life preservers, as the nation struggles violently to keep from drowning in the deep, dark waters of deceit and division.

They see no negative consequences for their betrayal.

They measure everything from their political perspectives and the voters have shown no inclination to hold them accountable.

Meanwhile, the country is exhausted and screaming for help.

1. it's like living in a pressure cooker

some thing is going to blow.

2. Trump is busy destroying the western alliance for his employer Putin

And as soon as Trumpcare and his hellscape budget against America is passed into law the destruction of the USA will really get under way.

As long as the 1% get the proceeds of the killing of medicaid, meals on wheels, SSI, SNAP etc the republicans could give a shit about anything BLOTUS does!

MAGA baby!

3. Accepting responsibility would be "admitting error".

They see nothing at all wrong with the Gilded Groper Putin Plant.

Besides . . . . according to them and a few smarmy internet coffee partiers . . . "President Trump" is somehow OUR fault because we didn't accommodate their racism, misogyny, violence and lurve for Trickle Down.

4. Actually, I'd change the metaphor a little bit

They are sitting dry (rich) in the lifeboats, whacking the drowning people with oars as they struggle to keep from drowning.

I suspect they believe that they can not lose. Makes me wonder if they really do have the whole game rigged.

5. They are the band on the Titanic.

Keep playing. Everything is going to be OK...

[VOX]

8. They are off-key, have no sense of time or even scales...

They're just sawing away randomly, and all the death-cult members think it's the most beautiful sound ever.

But to the informed, the sensible, the caring, and the law-abiding, the sounds are absolute cacophony.

[Horse with no Name]

6. Even the Carnegies and Rockefellers

Were smart enough to live barricaded from the masses that they impoverished.

These people are in plain sight.

History always repeats itself and I personally would buy a ticket to watch these craven assholes drawn and quartered.

7. The Dem Party Has To Show Inclination To Hold The Repugs Accountable......

Trump will destroy himself. The Dem Party cannot run against Trump. The Dem Party has to mount a massive 50 state campaign targeted directly at the Repug Party. Right now the Repug Party is hiding behind Trump. They are letting Trump take the brunt of the criticism.

If the Dems truly want to take back the House and Senate in 2018 - then they have to run their campaign against the Repug Party and how they are - by using Trump - destroying America.

Won't anyone out there agree with me?

[Guilded Lilly]

9. There are masses who agree with you. There are advocate groups...and RESISTANCE

All over the place.
Locally fighting, protesting, getting voters registered and...running for office.
They are there in considerable numbers.
Honest.

[global1]

10. But Are They Running Their Campaigns Against Trump Or Are They Focused On Beating The Repugs....nt

[Guilded Lilly]

11. They are running against the Republican agenda and The Cretin.

They are intertwined, inseparable.
This is far larger than one ignorant, imbalanced narcissist asshole.
Hold on to the resistance!
