11. I can't avoid feeling the exact same way.

May 2019

Like that GOP convention slogan a few cycles back: You Built It.

YOU did, Kristol.
YOU did, Steve Schmidt.
YOU did, Rick Wilson.
YOU did, John Kasich.
YOU did, Mitt Romney.
YOU did, Kevin McCarthy.
YOU did, Omarosa.
YOU did, Steve Bannon.
YOU did, Reince Priebus and Michael Steele.
YOU did, every single one of you GOP talking heads and “recovering” pols with your book deals and blogs and TV shows.
And, you, too, Nicolle Wallace. You helped, too. And every one of you sniveling partisans who are probably absolving each other of any guilt because you do whisper your revulsion of him and your mea culpas in the cloak room, but you’re right there gazing at him for photo ops as though you damn near wanted to drop to one knee and propose marriage.

You rode right along with it and didn’t do a think to stop it. But many of you helped and contributed and supported and encouraged and campaigned and strategized toward exactly this kind of result, starting decades ago. If you worked to further the republi-CON agenda and world view at any point in the last 40 years, this - THIS is all yours. YOU helped make this happen.
