The monster is gone. The fascist party remains.

They won't cooperate with Dems to deal with the multiple disasters we're facing

They don't give a shit how many people die of Covid.

They couldn't care less about people going hungry, homeless, or both.

They won't vote to convict the monster in the senate trial.

They deny white racism because they are the party of white racism.

They don't care about good government or any government at all.

They are interested only in absolute power and their own wealth.

They dream of a world that is our worst nightmare.

They harbor the seeds of our destruction.

They must be defeated, shunned and broken if our freedoms are to survive.

They and their kind have been around forever. Time for humanity to leave them behind.

Same old ruthless drive for power and wealth.
With the use of violence and total disregard for the common man.

Our two most important resources are this planet and the people on it.
And the elite always trash both.

Who said the sh*t would stop with 2020?

2020 was the prelude to 2021.

built upon materialism, exploitation, class division, unthinking and reactionary individualism, short term-gain thinking and instant gratification will create sociopaths...which is what I think a large chunk of the public are now. That tendency has always been with us, but the MEMEME culture we've developed has encourage the growth of it to a critical point.

Not sure that there is any way out of it, except it being bred out of our collective character over a period of time. On an individual level, personality disorders are incredibly hard to treat as they are foundational..and now we have a cultural context that reinforces and rewards those traits...so that has to change too. A culture that rewards bad behavior and lets certain classes and demographics get away with everything up to...and including...murder, and penalizes harshly those not in those favored demographics is one that sends a message of a permanent state of injustice and amorality.

They have shown they are enemies of democracy in the USA.

Democrats need to acknowledge this, say it out loud and act accordingly.

And let them know they are NOT followers of Jesus Christ and they violate EVERYTHING Jesus preached about.

Trump is their Golden Calf God, which is in violation of the 1st Commandment.

The Right wing vision of America is widespread, foul and perverted. They think that 328,000,000 Americans can live together with each free to operate under his or her on rules without acknowledging the needs or desires of their fellow citizens. "If I don't like you, you have no right to exist in my world." "Only evil people disagree with me." "If I don't get my way, nobody will be happy." Theirs is a vision of not only economic greed, but social greed. It is all "I, Me, Mine" writ large.

They killed off their own party the night of the Insurrection against our country. They continued the LIE about election fraud. They are continuing the rhetoric, they hate our country.
