Republican Party - Party of Lawlessness and Disorder and Authoritarianism

[link:https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hutchinson-criticizes-loyalty-pledge-requirement-for-gop-debate/|

In light of the recent complaints in the Republican Party about having to sign a loyalty oath to support the Republican Nominee, no matter what, it is increasingly clear that the Republican Party is actually the party of Lawlessness and Disorder and Authoritarianism.

What can possibly be debated about that? Isn't this a satisfactory way to label them that would surely and eventually make an impact of anyone who still has the capacity for awareness of reality and rational thought? (I know, we could despair at the existence of same, but you got to point things out! That is the nature of reality and awareness. That is the job of preachers and yes, politicians. It doesn't prove itself.)

I like it. I think it sticks, even as much as it stinks.

GOP = Party of criminality, whining, and tyranny.

Sometimes it seems they go beyond being against things that help average Americans, and actively promote cruelty, hardship, ignorance, poverty, and death. At least that is what the headlines indicate.

I don’t understand why people support the GOP anymore. I was thinking of WV. They took a hard right turn as a population. But it is (or was) a beautiful state with many parks, highways, educational institutions, supporting services, etc that were brought about by Democratic Governors and Senators. Now they have seemingly abandoned all of that. But for what?

Afternoon rant finished. 🤔😊
