YES, THE GOP IS FULL OF S
In case you, my fellow Americans, haven’t noticed or have been hibernating for the bitter part of the past decade, the GOP is no longer the party of Ronald Reagan, or even of Richard Nixon. It’s no longer (except in name only) even the Republican Party — it has unquestionably become the Trumpism Party, and will remain so until sanity and integrity say enough is enough, and Trumpism is reduced to a disharmonious, petty cult. How long will that tune take? It LIES IN THE TIME it takes Trump supporters to look in the mirror and ask themselves: How Long Will You Sing….
…and I’m guessing that ain’t gonna happen anytime soon, even if their Great White Hope, Donald Jehovah Trump, is put on trial(s) and convicted of breaking laws he’s above. Meanwhile, back at the waiting room, I thought I’d compile a sort of sordid list of “S” words the GOP is full of, just for the (until) HELL (freezes over) OF IT:
sanctimony
scalawags
scams
scoundrels
scum
scurvy
seditionists
sickos
skunks
slanderers
sleazebags
sophists
speciousness
spite
spuriousness
subterfuge
suppressers
suckers
There, of course, comes to mind another “s” word I could mention that the GOP is full of, but why stoop to their level?

A better word might be SLUGGARD (if defined as a slow-moving or lazy person in the intellectual, rather than physical, sense). It appears it may take forever for the GOP to arrive at a “come-to-Jesus” moment about Trump.

Good compilation of ‘S’ words … I wonder if we could do the same for the other 25 letters of the alphabet? Sigh. I think people are incapable of looking in the mirror and seeing the error of their ways, for they are convinced that they are the victims, that they must fear ‘other’, and that Donald Trump is their salvation. As long as he walks the earth and has a voice, they will blindly follow.

Polls indicate that Trump commands a flock of sheep approximating 30% to 33% of voters, but a much larger percentage of states are deep red or lean red — which is what decides the winner in America’s electoral college system….especially taking into account that Republicans control the statehouses and legislatures which can rig things in their favor in those states. The rest of America had better get wise to that reality, or Trumpism will live on and democracy will not survive.

The Electoral College is one of the two worst things in the U.S. Constitution (the other being the 2nd Amendment) in my view. It might have worked if humans were basically honest, but as it is, the EC is manipulated through gerrymandering and, as you say, dishonest people in positions of power in state governments. I think there is a very real possibility that your last sentence will, in fact, come to pass and then once people wake up, it will be too late.

I may not have agreed with Republicans in the past, but at least I respected their side. These days? The decent fiscally Conservative party of old has let themselves be turned into the cult of Trump. Itβs horrifyingβ¦ and almost beyond belief.

You said it, Rg. It just goes to show how easily, in a relatively short period of time, a ‘charismatic’ despot like Hitler or Trump can turn millions of individuals into an unthinking herd of true believers.

I always learn so much from your posts and also about US politics! From over here, it is worrying to see the trumpisst movement causing so much harm to US & western democracy! Meanwhile here in the old west we’re having to deal with the consequences of the new order: pukin-ping!

You got the scoop Right today MM. His misfit followers don’t seem to be able to perceive the difference between his usual gross whopping lies and his far rarer mild exaggerations. But they all wait in thrall, ready to luxuriate in the steady unending stream of egregious toxic misinformation that is emitted from the bowels of the Great White Wail.
Hmmm, and I wasn’t going to comment further on that criminal-in-waiting. Oh well. Such is life. Which, in a perfect world Trump would get. He at least deserves eight to ten.
On the shi- flip side, even in an imperfect world I can’t bear and- don’t dare- consider him getting another four year term.

It’s bad enough (and even forgivable) that many support Trump out of gullibility There is no excuse for those who do so out of a lust for total power at any price. They have zero integrity and no place in a democracy.

Some polls claim 69% of the people think woke is a good thing. It is a mistake to think it superior to it’s opposite sleep. Nightmares must dominate theirs but dreams only come true when you are awake. Woke happens around 10 AM, wake happens at six that’s the difference. Perfect timing on the music. The end of reading and listening ended simultaneously. Peace
