Remove Republican Robots
Overwhelming silence comes now from Congressional Republicans in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and El Presidente’ Dear Leader’s bellicose, fascist banana republic response. Thankfully, Colin Powell is indirectly calling them out. Mitt Romney and George Bush get it. But the Party of Donald Trump just does and says essentially nothing in the face of ongoing racist police brutality and this Administration’s willingness to ignore it.
Can all Democrats, Independents and responsible Conservatives with a functioning brain, beating heart and warm blood coursing through their veins all just agree now that the Party of Donald Trump (aka known as the Republican Party) is a breathtakingly corrupt, sycophantic lemming zombie cult?
Is the Party of Trump not deeply rooted in self-interested, reactionary, fascist extremism, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, white extremism and racist hatred? Is the Party of Trump operating mode not bereft of any modicum of human decency, common sense or compassion? Are they not also apoplectically attacking the free press daily and are they not hell bent on staying in power seemingly forever while lining their grimy pockets with illicit cash at every possible political opportunity?
Clearly we now understand that the Party of Donald Trump stands monolithically united behind obscene profits for already wealthy donors, piles of cash for hate-filled re-election campaigns and brazenly partisan party politics before people. They have blithely defended the illegal and breathtakingly incompetent acts of a monumentally unfit President to further the rule of their corrupt oligarchy. Isn’t that what the utter train wreck of Donald J. Trump’s presidency revealed about the Party of Donald Trump?
How much more corruption, criminality and moral bankruptcy do we need to endure to declare emphatically that the Party of Trump is simply a dangerously grotesque political malignancy threatening the very health of our democracy? Must not their malevolent, mind-controlled, maniacal robots be removed from each elected office they hold at every level of government?
Can’t we all just agree now that that’s what must be done? Can’t we all just work our butts off now to do that? November 2020 is fast approaching.
