Good news! The political long-term strategy of the Republican party has a fatal systemic flaw :

What are they thinking?
Are they thinking that the rest of the world isn't taking notes?
Isn't writing books and articles?
Isn't talking about this?
Are they really thinking, they are fooling anyone beyond the ignorant fuckers who are already deep down the rabbit-hole?
Are they really thinking that anybody from the rest of mankind is buying their lies?
Are they really thinking that the rest of the world doesn't know about Trump's habit of insulting people?
His obscene narcissism?
His tendency to lie even about things that make no sense to lie about?
His racism?
His incompetence?
Do they really think they are fooling anyone when they claim that Trump is not corrupt?
Do they really think they are fooling anyone when they are trying to bury Comey's sabotage?
Russia's meddling?
Do they really think that Trump's attacks on the free press go about unnoticed?



Here's what they have overlooked:
Their whole spin on Donald Trump means absolutely jack-shit to the rest of mankind, from now until forever.




Everybody on the planet knows the Republican Party of the US for one President: Lincoln.
The Republicans are the Party of Lincoln.
Some 150 years have passed since then and they are still the Party of Lincoln.

The Republican Party is now the Party of Trump.

Forever.

No matter what the Republicans are spinning and what is written in US history-books:

In 150 years, people in South-America, Europe, Asia, Africa, India and Australia will still be discussing the corruption of the republican US President Donald Trump.

In 150 years, people in South-America, Europe, Asia, Africa, India and Australia will still be discussing the shady way the republican US President Donald Trump came into office.

In 150 years, people in South-America, Europe, Asia, Africa, India and Australia will still be discussing how Russia manipulated the election of the republican US President Donald Trump.

In 150 years, people in South-America, Europe, Asia, Africa, India and Australia will still be discussing how the Republican party willingly sold out their country to cover up how Russia manipulated the election of the republican US President Donald Trump.

In 150 years, people in South-America, Europe, Asia, Africa, India and Australia will still be discussing the attacks on the freedom of the press by the Republican Party and the republican US President Donald Trump.

And...

In 150 years, people in South-America, Europe, Asia, Africa, India and Australia will still be discussing the sexual perversions of the republican US President Donald Trump.

Trump.

He's famous now.

And so is his family.



Do you know why the first-name "Slobodan" is becoming rare in Serbia? Because nobody wants to name their child after the war-criminal and genocidal mass-murderer Slobodan Milosevic.

Do you think you can find the first-name "Adolf" anywhere in Germany??? Nobody names their child Adolf anymore. And all the streets and places that are named after other famous Adolfs have been renamed to the nick-name "Addi".
The first-name "Adolf" has been wiped out in Germany.

What about the last-name "Hitler"? They are a whole family! Surely there must be somebody named Hitler out there!
Nope.
The whole family changed their last-name and "Hitler" has been wiped out from history.

And now ponder this:
The last-name "Trump" will forever be associated with the racism, corruption, tyranny and sexual perversions of US President Donald Trump.

Forever.

Donald Trump.

They are the ones who behaved so disgracefully after Benghazi. And they are the ones who cultivated and sold the fake email scandal.

It is the entire GOP that has promoted a deplorable mindset in our country, an embracing of hatred, bigotry and fact-resistance.

So much so that I'm reposting it elsewhere frequented by far rightwing nutjobs.

With little editing.

PM if you want the URL.

it is good that he will be responsible for causing it to be disappeared.

Even now new Trump properties are being laberled "Scion" to escape the contamination of his name.

I think everyone involved is looking at their own bottom line in the next ten years instead of 150 years from now. They're not going to live long enough (due to age) to feel the long term repercussions.

Everyone always called my Uncle Adolph "Jim." When I was little, I always figured it was just Anglicized, since so many members of my family were bilingual in German and English. I did not make the connection to Hitler until I was a little older.

How my Uncle Jim must have hated his real name!

Not wanting to go that far I will be happy when the day comes Trump family members have to drop the last name. End the Trump brand name.
