Welcome to Your Own Funeral, Republican Party
You elected a “pResident” who is as stupid as he is corrupt, as ignorant as he is self-absorbed, as vile as he is incoherent, and as narcissistic as he is inept.
I know, I know – you thought you could control him; he was just a presidential wannabe who knows nothing about government, and would simply say what you told him to say, and sign what you told him to sign.
But what you got was what you should have known you were going to get: a self-serving braggart who believes he knows more about running the country than you do – just like he knows more than anyone about everything.
He has managed to destroy your “brand” in less than three years. The ‘party of family values’ shtick went down the drain when you put a pussy-grabbing adulterer in the WH. Your ‘party of fiscal responsibility’ claim died the day he exploded the deficit to give tax breaks to the wealthy. The ‘party of Christian principles’ meme got blown out of the water when he locked children in filthy cages. And that much-touted ‘party of patriotism’ thing literally committed suicide on the stage in Helsinki when he announced that given the choice between Putin and our country’s own intelligence community, he’s siding with Putin.
You mumbled and fumbled when he insulted our allies, placed inept people in positions of power, put tariffs on goods that the citizenry have to pay for, and based foreign policy on “beautiful letters” exchanged with a murderous dictator he’s “in love with”.
I appreciate how difficult it’s been to have to defend the indefensible – not once in a while, not occasionally – but 24/7 without respite. I understand how hard you’ve worked to mitigate the damage he’s doing to your party with one political and/or personal scandal after another, with never a let-up in the deluge of cringe-inducing statements and ludicrous declarations.
But now you’re really beginning to appreciate just how dark that corner is that he’s forced you to paint yourselves into – a 2020 re-election strategy based on overt, blatant, in-your-face racism.
Although “the party of racism” is what you’ve been all along, no one was supposed to actually say it out loud. But now your “pResident” has – and in no uncertain terms.
There’s no coming back from this. You are now officially the party of racists, white supremacists, the KKK, and other organizations that your “pResident” has praised for having very fine people among them.
You can try to walk this back. You can try to promote the idea that he didn’t say what he said – and if he did, he didn’t mean it. You can pull out the tried-and-true talking points about words being taken out of context, about statements being misconstrued, about the “fake news” deliberately misrepresenting what was said.
But we all heard exactly what was said. We all heard ”Send them back!” from your “pResident” – and we all heard his brain-dead supporters pick up that chant and run with it.
So welcome to your own funeral, Republican party. Welcome to that dark little corner where the rabid dog you thought you could muzzle has finally bit you in the ass so viciously, it will probably prove fatal.
Welcome to your own memorial service, where friends of the dearly departed gather to mourn the loss of talking points that no longer work, cries of “what we really meant to say” are deafened by shouts of “send them back”, and defensive rhetoric has now been rendered completely meaningless.
But don’t despair that the services won’t be well attended. The majority of the nation will be there – wrapped in Pride flags and hijabs, offering prayers of gratitude in hundreds of different languages, dialects, and accents that demonstrate our country’s strength by virtue of its diversity.
The Republican Party is now openly and indisputably the Party of Racism.
That’s not just a bumper-sticker – that’s the undeniable truth. The face of the Republican party is now the visage of hate-filled idiots screaming that American citizens should go ‘back where they came from’ – even though where they came from is here. The image of the Republican voter is now the ignorant descendant of immigrants who rails against the inclusion of the immigrants they themselves descended from.
Rest in peace, GOP. While I do not mourn your demise, I am grateful for the chance to don my best red dress to attend the long awaited Funeral of the Century, and dance in front of a headstone that reads: Here lies the pitiful remains of a once-proud party - ultimately too stupid to recognize the snake in their midst before succumbing to its venomous bite."
= new reply since forum marked as read
The demise of the GOP has been predicted over and over and over and over for decades and yet, here we are........
bottle of champagne in one hand, something smokeable in the other. We'll incite everybody we know. We'll dance. We'll laugh. We'll have the time of our lives !
...next month, next week, tomorrow. He is too addicted to all this--going too far, stoking his racist/fascist "base", confounding them "lib'rals". He *has* to keep pushing the envelope, and his base has to keep cheering him on. Where it ends up, God only knows...
You have an unindicted Fascist FELON in the WHITE HOUSE.
History will not be kind to you.
