25. Quite true as they are agglomerations of Freudian projection.

However, as has always been the case, by their deeds ye shall know them. Since the time of Raygun the policies they champion and practice have all been demonstrably destructive to the general welfare of our people, making rank greed and selfishness paramount virtues in order to aggregate political power in the hands of those who benefit most by it. This ever deepening vortex of corrosive policy rot has led to the weakening of the basic pillars of our democracy such that many people question whether it can still function, as they perceive, correctly in many instances, that the basic legal protections and policies that were deliberately crafted by Democrats to benefit the country as a whole have been eviscerated by this gang of criminals. I can think of no greater act of betrayal to your country then destroying it from within in an insatiable lust for filthy lucre and anti democratic aggregation of absolute political power to acquire and protect more of the same. This internal betrayal of We The People then predictably and inevitably led to the betrayal of our country to a foreign nation when Agent Orange openly solicited and received help from a foreign dictator to gain the Presidency and then proceeded to betray our interests further by acting as his puppet for four reprehensible years. A measure of how much the modern GOP are true traitors to our democracy is the fact that not only did they not condemn these actions by Agent Orange they openly embraced them and eagerly hopped on the Putin money/gravy train. Their stench permeates and befouls every square centimeter of the soil so many true patriots of all races, creeds and nationalities sacrificed to defend so that it could yield a more fruitful bounty of democracy for every person, not just the would be petty tyrants and mammon slaves who the modern Rethuglicans have become.
