owning their drug/sex orgies, and their fascism.

While one might be encouraged that the Repubes are finally blabbing some truthbits about themselves, what they reveal is stinking deplorable.

And as for the Repubes pathetic embrace of Big Daddy PlutoCrap Facism to try and reinforce their feeble incel loser egos, that is unAmerican, anti-American, and anti-Biblical.

The embrace of facism will bring the Repubes more and more well-deserved FAIL in their personal lives and in their public influence. It's hateful, and anti-history.

You had a good run, United States. But when you couldn't persuade a majority of your own citizens to operate under a system of majority rules, there was nothing for it but a complete breakdown of civil society.
