The GOP superspreaders of Trump's contagion

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Opinion by E.J. Dionne Jr

Donald Trump took his campaign against American democracy to North Carolina on Saturday and offered a rambling, grievance-laden harangue that ought to catalyze Republican leaders to repudiate a man whose lies, bigotry and irrationality are turning their party into a moral sinkhole.

Fat chance, I know. But Republicans should watch Trump’s 90-minute diatribe in its entirety. They might realize that tying their fate to a washed-up demagogue and the extremists he cultivates is not only an affront to decency. It could also be a colossal political mistake.

Most Washington Republicans say they want to “move on” from Trump. But they avoid anything that might offend his delicate sensibilities or those of his supporters.

Sorry, guys, but you won’t be able to “move on” to the responsible governing you purport to believe in until you confront the anti-democratic virus in your party and the vile man spreading the contagion.

And spread it Trump did during his 90-minute soliloquy at the state GOP convention in Greenville, N.C. Almost everything he said drew raucous cheers — except, curiously, his taking full credit for the pandemic-ending vaccines.

5. It's amazing how many people are still on board with this conman

after all his lies have been exposed so easily, none of his predictions have come true, he hasn't helped most of these normal folks just the wealthy investor types.

Oh well. As his many of his unvaxxed unmasked supporters gather indoors for some air conditioning during the summer heat, we may have more of them meet their maker. The church crowd down south might see the rapture sooner than they think.
