When you cheered Trump's election, you were naive. You were misguided, ill-informed sheeple who lacked the insight to know a self-serving grifter when you saw one.
When you saw him as a 'stable genius', you were stupid. The signs were all there that he was an incompetent idiot, but you insisted on believing otherwise.
When you swallowed his lies, you were blind to the truth. You made the choice to stop being Americans in order to embrace Trumpism; you made the choice to stop being Christians in order to become members of a cult.
When you embraced the Big Lie, you abandoned reality. You decided that facts are meaningless, along with the Constitution, the rule of law, and every principle the nation was founded upon.
You have been looked down upon by decent, intelligent people. You have been scorned as dumb-as-fuck conspiracy theory-hugging idiots who consume horse de-wormer and your own piss while waiting for a deranged pillow salesman to reinstate your deposed loser of a pOTUS.
You have, to some extent, been pitied as brain-dead know-nothings who were easily manipulated into believing anything by political-savvy GOP operatives who preyed upon your ignorance.
But the pity-party stops here.
If you still support Trump - who is standing with Putin and Russia against our country AND against democracy - you can no longer use your own abject stupidity as a shield.
If you still support Trump, you are no longer naive, or blind, or the innocent victim of political manipulation - YOU ARE A TRAITOR.

(21,359 posts)We need to tie every, yes every Republican to Trump, to Putin to Fox News.
There are Republicans helping Trump do a rally in South Carolina on March 12th and I guarantee at that rally Trump is going to blame president Biden for the war. A fucking former president is going to hold a rally bashing our president and praising Putin. The MSM had better decide which side it is on in covering this.

Thanks for your common sense and truth-telling.

(17,549 posts)Anyone who self-identifies as a Republican today, is anti-American. (And they feel exactly the same about us)
We are the Divided States of America, and I hold the Republicans responsible. This has answered a long-held personal question that I have tried to understand. "How was it that brother could fight brother during the US Civil War?" I get it now.

(8,361 posts)racism, misogyny, greed, the list goes on and on. Their need to have a "leader" who made it ok to be an asshole proved a powerful draw. In reality, he is a dangerous demagogue, and no matter how many intellectuals within the conservative movement tried to explain how and why he was dangerous, not nearly enough turned on him, imo.
All traitors must be met with political rejection and we must continue to strive for a supermajority.
Btw, this is priceless, and concise too. lol
