republicans are the like boyfriend who called it off without telling you

emotionally, they've already left. their love has slowly turned from indifference into hate.

but they never actually told us we've broken up. they're not moving out. and they're still insisting we pay half the rent and do most of the chores.

meanwhile, they're fooling around with anyone and everything, having the time of their life, celebrating their freedom and damn the consequences.

and they quietly laugh at us for being such suckers, though it comes out as contempt.


once upon a time, countries would explicitly declare war. nowadays, with some rare exceptions, countries simply start attacking, preferring not to give up the tactical first strike surprise advantage for the sake of some quaint diplomatic tradition.

republicans have seceded.

they just didn't announce it.

Un-democratize education...continuing attacks on public ed. Promotion of private and christian schools. Keep the populace ill educated beyond our current problems. No education, lack of critical thinking skills, don't recognize the value of your labor. Easier to control, fooled, used and exploited.

An autocrat if not outright King, Trump still expects to be that very near as I can tell.

Install a christian theocracy. Discrimination against other religions.

This isn't a conspiracy by the RWNJs, this is a cultural shift happening now and has been since Reagan.
