This may trigger your gag reflex. Here's a list of those who have been called "rising stars" in

the Republican party over the last year or so:

---Gaetz
---Noem
---DeSantis
---Crenshaw
---Kemp
---Boebert
---Taylor-Greene
---Hawley

There are more, to be sure, but that's all I can bear to consider in one post.

At least some of them will win. Hopefully, some on your list will lose.

Today, they're attracted to the republican party. Not much difference anymore except by joining the repukes you can be a liar, tax cheat, or pedophile with total impunity.

WWII, the 5 NY LCN families helped in the war effort to beat fascism.

Today's Republicans would be fiercely supporting the Nazis.

He's putting on some kind of bullshit young conservatives convention out here in Houston and he's bringing one of the blondes who used to be on fox and that dipshit shapiro guy whom conservatives think is so smart. Sounds like a convention of vomit.

Can you imagine how annoying they would be if they went to prison and tried to pull their crap on fellow inmates?

I’d pay to watch…

.....if and when they are defeated at the polls. Never hearing from Boebert or seeing Taylor-Greene's homely puss again would be wonderful. Let's hope that the RWNJs don't turn them into some kind of Sarah Palin hero.

is more like it.

This is what the "tea party" has morphed into. Fucking fascists. Every one of them. None of them worth more than the $1 or so they'd bring, breaking them down to their basic elements.

Any sane person left he party years ago, and if there were still a few hanging around (Scott, Hogan, Baker and a tiny handful of others) they'd never survive a national Republican primary. They'd be crushed by the nuts in the south, west, midwest....
