There have always been plenty of disgusting Republicans and even a few disgusting folks with

"D"'s after their name. But, today's crop of Republicans contains many for whom "disgusting" hardly suffices. "Nauseating" comes close, but still doesn't quite convey the emotions some of them trigger.

Kari Lake, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Greene, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan and Andy Biggs are just a few of the noxious screamers and whiners whose very names, when I speak them, make me feel like using a strong mouthwash several times.

Is "vomitotious" a word?

a brokered convention to pick another candidate but they realized that they couldn't win without Trump because he was so wildly popular with the 80% of the Republican base who are authoritarians. So the corporate Republicans put party before country and went with the authoritarian, even knowing that they were putting democracy in the US on life support because authoritarians are not committed to democracy. It was very telling that some Republican leaders like the Bushes, Cheneys, Romney refused to support Trump even though he was the Republican candidate. The Republicans absolutely knew or had reason to know what they were doing to democracy in the US. Now, for the foreseeable future, the US has one party which seeks to end any real pretense of democracy and maintain permanent control and on the other side anyone who will stand up for democracy.

Hillary gave us the word to describe the cult followers—deplorables.

The cult wore the label deplorable like a badge of honor. Now, the tail is wagging the dog as politicians try to out-deplorable the cult masses.

Well, at least I hope they are, but you never know, they actually could get worse. I never underestimate the republican party anymore. No matter how bad they are, there is almost always someone around the corner who is worse.

I do.
But I’m feeling hopeful as younger people recognize that they need to become involved or lose rights.

The selfishness, cruelty and hate comes from the voter up.
