Mark it on your calendar: January 11, 2018 is the day the Republican Party began the last turn to the precipitous downhill slide into the abyss—its Gollum-like transformation into the truly abhorrent is happening before our very eyes. It won’t be painless and it won’t be without casualties, but the Republican Party, as we know it, is toast. Amen and hallelujah.
We have the most traitorous, foul, awful, despicable, lying, racist (racist, racist, racist, racist), evil criminal in the Oval Office, and about 65% of the country knows it. Every single lie that Republicans tell, in order to prop up that piece of shit, is duly noted by that 65%. Those lies are perhaps not fully-scoffed at yet, but the wheels of “aha” are beginning to turn in our country. Senators Cotton and Perdue have shown their hands, caught bald-faced lying and accusing Senator Dick Durbin of lying, even after they feigned ignorance. Dumbasses.
One would think that the evil the Republican Party peddles would be smarter, more crafty, more insidious. They have, after all, played the Long Game. In reality, they are just a bunch of clumsy flat-footed goobers who believe white power is God-ordained, so have resorted to being bad boys who worship a cruel idiot. And, that cruel idiot is selling the U.S. to the highest bidder to save himself. It doesn’t get much more pathetic than that.
So, in the spirit of democracy, intelligence, ingenuity, forward-thinking, plain ole’ goodness, inclusiveness, love, kindness, charity, and beautiful Earth, I raise my cup of Kahlua coffee and welcome the Republican Party’s imminent and agonizing demise. May it be swift and terrible.
World Party, “Ship of Fools”:
