The Republican Party seems to be a criminal enterprise.

It's not that they did not know Trump was a criminal. They knew. They just didn't care.

From Paul Manafort to Roger Stone to all the criminal activities surrounding the last election to public knowledge of crimes to an insurrection to overthrow an election, they did nothing.

What are reasonable people supposed to think?

They do not care about this country and they do not care about their supporters. They only care about power.

As Maya Angelou said, when people show you who they are, believe them.

They are focused on permanent power, wealth and privilege.
And immunity from legal consequences.

The best sociopaths don't break the laws, they make them.

They think we're the boogie man trying to take over and take away from them. That's the bubble they live in. They call our information stream "fake news". They turn to their talking heads for the news and for critical advice.

But those indictments aren't fake. Neither is our news. Neither are the very real, very long prison sentences these conspirators are about to serve.

Their bubble just burst.
