Never, not ever in a zillion years, will I understand what has become of the modern Republican Party.
It has gone from being a party that prided itself on moral rectitude, on so-called “family values” and on insisting that character matters in selecting candidates for our cherished public offices to a cult-following mob of miscreants who tie their hay wagon to the heels of a man named Donald John Trump.
Trump stood before us this week and launched into a never-ending tirade of lies that will not draw a single rebuke from what passes as leadership within the once-Grand Old Party.
His brazenness defies logic.
I’ve already discussed briefly the abysmal performance turned in by President Biden. However, I am not going to join the amen chorus calling on him to step aside.
I am, however, going to call attention to the moral decline of the Republican Party. For the third presidential election cycle in a row, the GOP is nominating a convicted felon, an admitted sexual assailant, a serial philanderer, someone who has been found liable in a court of law for the rape of a woman.
There once was a time when the parties sought to nominate the best among us for our nation’s highest office. Donald Trump represents the worst of us.
If we Americans are so damn stupid to give this guy the keys to the White House once again, then we are in far worse condition as a nation than I ever thought possible.
Interesting coming from someone who helped put a man who’s being abused by his family and handlers into office. Again, hatred for Trump allowed you, and millions of others, to put a man that has no business being in this role into office. There’s no way in hell that you don’t know how bad off Biden is and was before being elected. Yet you still chose to be a part of the abuse. That is truly sad.
