Republicans have a hard time celebrating St. Valentine’s Day due to their heartless existences. Some of them seeing the love all around them try, chameleon-like, to blend in with the caring population. They are fairly east to spot, as they gift each other with white chocolate, white whines and whitewashing of white supremacist positions.
tRumpism is the opposite of Love. There is no room in tRump’s empty stable brain for the tiniest feelings of empathy or compassion. He’s entirely consumed by paranoia, rage, fear and delusions of grandeur. McConnell, McCarthy, Graham and the rest all know this. But, their pursuit of power and collective lack of an ethical center allows them to pretend there’s nothing to see here. They long ago ceded the moral high ground and are now just trying to hang on by any means. They no longer have an actual end to use for justifying those means. They are all about the means and nothing more.
The current (R)leadership disingenuously worships at the combined altar of crony capitalism, snake oil religion and make America white again. They appeal to the worst instincts of three different kinds of human predators: Thieves, con-artists and fear-mongers. It is a marriage made in hell and consummated every time they manage to screw someone over. With the addition of tRump they are trying to create a deity the embodies all that is wrong with America.
They are a coalition of Lying Incoherent Avaricious Really Stupid Asshats, Nincompoops, Dullards, Creeps, Hairballs, Egotists And Traitorous Sadists. Instead of hearts they have tiny pincers erupt out of their chests to grasp at power and only power. For all their bleating, blathering and bombast they contribute nothing to the betterment of mankind or rational solutions to any of the problems we are facing.
If republican politicians weren’t such self-centered, greedy, Randian hacks they would have realized a long time ago the “WE THE PEOPLE” means all the people. Disenfranchising people for skin color, religion, orientation or any other reason is directly antithetical to the idea of government by the consent of the governed. They don’t have any wiggle room. What they are doing is anti-democratic (small d). They want to tear down the Republic. What we are doing is proving we are strong enough to keep it. UP THE RESISTANCE.
