So are we still going to call them "The Republican Party?"

Many Americans, (a minority), have gone mad.

Unquestioning loyalty to Trump? Loyalty to a "political party" that hates 90% of the people on the planet?

Is this what America has become?

Agree with me or not, like it or not, today's Republican Party is America's fascist party. -- I'd say "today's American Nazi Party," but I fear too many would hear this and require smelling salts.

So what would you call them?

They are fucking you with every state "law" they pass.

They are making your lives worse.

They are making America a third world country.

They are grubbing every piece of power and every available dollar for themselves.

They are destroying a country that may have been a model for the world.

They are some of the most malicious pricks in the world.

So what should we call them?

Robert Oppenheimer, a developer of the first atomic bomb, and watching it go off, said: "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." He was quoting an ancient Hindu saying taught to him by a Sanskrit teacher.

"I am death, the destroyer of worlds," has never been more relevant. I wonder how many Republicans know those words that Oppenheimer quoted? I wonder how many would understand it?

Notice the spelling. I pronounce it that way, too. It's exactly what they are. A party of con artists and grifters.
