A message to all sane Republicans...




A message to all sane Republicans:

He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.

He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.

He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.

His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.


History will be most unkind towards our collective complacency

...are all long dead.

I never liked those guys but while we disagreed on most things, they were sane and patriotic.

These people are now all nuts, no honor, no decency, no respect for our country, its future, its history, its traditions.

They are killing our country and care not a whit for it.

Perhaps we could hand-deliver it to both of them?

Who are these sane republicans left? They either left the party or went full MAGA. There’s no in between

at least not any that would admit to it. They all have to be as batshit crazy as DJT is or else feel his wrath.

9. This needs to be printed out, duplicated, and taped to the office door of every Republican in both houses of Congress.

12. They each have their reasons for supporting him, and they ignore everything else.

I'm not sure "sane" is the question here.
The question, as I see it, is if there are any republicans out there who aren't simply reflections of the worst aspects of Trump's personality.
They hate what he hates. They judge what he judges. They care very little for anyone who isn't like them, and will support Trump as long as he deals with the ones they hate, and want to see punished.
It matters very little how much they suffer, as long as the ones they hate suffer more.
Trump supporters are casually cruel, and totally unconcerned about the wreckage left in the wake of Trump's rampages. Trump can do whatever he pleases, and his hardcore base will still support him.

They aren't insane. They simply lack love, compassion, empathy...all the things that actually Make America Great.

I put those in the same category as unicorns, fairies and the Easter bunny. They don't exist.

if you don’t like your history, buy-up the media, erase it and change it. Silence the dissent.
The Supine Court has your back, not to worry.
