Yeah. Look no further than our love affair with cars. Cars, that for 50+ years dumped giga-tons of tetra-ethyl lead into the biosphere and poisoned us all.

It just kind of rolls off the tongue when describing certain types.

[spanone]

27. Absolutely...concise

[dslyahoo]

15. Exactly!

As I was reading his tweet, an old ragtime piano song came on. It worked! I was reading Jeff’s words describing the horror the GOP has become in rhythm to the toe tapping upbeat song I was hearing. Kind of like those horror movies that are also comedies. One doesn’t know whether to scream or laugh. Describes the daily feelings nowadays. Reading the words and hearing the music made it definable and experiential rather than vague. Have a good day.

[Martin68]

16. Exactly!!!!!

[SergeStorms]

17. He takes adjectives and adverbs....

to a new level. You can't argue with his logic though.

[James48]

25. That IS old!

[Beartracks]

28. Unfortunately, EVERY Republican at all levels of government facilitates the fucktangle.

Even the mythical "good Republican." Every Republican in every local government , state legislature, and Congress, contributes to their majorities, which only serves to let the worst of them try to establish their rule.

=========

[Demovictory9]

29. Trump made them worse

[Mike Niendorff]

30. They were always fascists.

They just used to hide it.

Not anymore.



MDN

[BlancheSplanchnik]

32. Yep. I remember the fascism adjacent behavior during bush II.

And well before that, I remember the racism at home and the support for Nixon.

[DFW]

33. I'm that old too

[usaf-vet]

35. LOL !!!

[usaf-vet]

34. Ok now tells us what you really think!

[uponit7771]

36. I'm ... NOT .. that old, I even read about Nixon doing some traitor shit. In my voting lifetime ther

... there were three GQP presidents and 3 fucked up economies for the middle class at the end of their terms.

At the least I don't remember GQP that can govern, they suck at it ... they're completely void of ability to manage on a large scale

[robertpaulsen]

38. When was that? Eisenhower?

Definitely before my time.

[leftyladyfrommo]

39. Boy he is old. So am I. nt
