Republicans' 'uplifting' convention turned into a rage-fest

[Zorro]

Opinion by Dana Milbank

President Trump over the weekend said he expected a “very uplifting and positive” convention.

Uh-oh. Dude must have gotten into the hydroxychloroquine again.

The Republican National Convention on its opening day was as uplifting as the apocalypse, as positive as perdition.

“The woke-topians,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) warned, “will disarm you, empty the prisons, lock you in your home and invite MS-13 to live next door, and the police aren’t coming when you call.”

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former Fox News personality and current girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., informed the convention that Democrats “want to destroy this country and everything that we have fought for and hold dear. They want to steal your liberty, your freedom. They want to control what you see and think and believe so that they can control how you live. They want to enslave you to the weak, dependent, liberal victim ideology, to the point that you will not recognize this country or yourself.”

1. The shocking thing is

Millions of MAGATs believe every word of this

Yup

[5X]

2. I'm beginning to think the tie-that-binds them all together is the coke.

Gaetz, Jordan, all the trumps, Guilliani, the whole bunch is hyped up.

3. Just like the Nazi hierarchy

[Aristus]

8. No kidding.

For decades after the end of WWII, the soldiers of the Third Reich were touted for their ferocious courage in battle, their energy, their stoicism against hunger, cold, going days without rest or sleep in order to conquer all of Europe, etc. It was chalked up to discipline, training, and unswerving loyalty to their nation.

Turns out, it was methamphetamine the whole time...

10. Yep, that was their driver

Instead of of Bolivian Marching Powder, it was Nazi Blitzkrieg Tablets.

12. British Army did it too at the time.

a lot of battle fatigue afterwards may have been the usual comedown from speed.

4. PROJECTION week...

That is all the Republicans have to offer. They truly believe the American people are STUPID and incapable of thinking for themselves.

What every Trumper speaker tells you, is what is happening in their Trump Party.

5. They have been saying this crap for over four years (destroy, steal one's liberty, freedom, etc.)

and it still hasn't happened yet. BS as usual. And as usual, they can't even tout their accomplishments because they don't have any, so they have to instead, attack others' records.

But with the corruption in place now at the WH and throughout rump's administration, the corruption is running unchecked into all parts of government. Months and years of rehab will await Biden and his crew of hard working Americans, and all of us working together, along w/ the FBI (a delicious irony) and other intelligence agencies, will provide Biden's prosecutors a significant portion of the crimes that these thugs committed against this Country.

6. Don't under estimate the mood of voters this dark talk will get internalized

ESP with many people unemployed, tired of limited open states due to the virus. Many voters are scared and this convention plays right into their fears.
Just saying.

[Bayard]

7. I think more voters will look at what they do,

Not what they see.

Virus has the major billing here.....causing skyrocketing unemployment, poor economy (unless you're a real estate investor), and death for thousands.

This is personal.

9. Everyone of their conventions, at least since 2000, has been a Ragefest. n/t

11. Is she talking about her boyfriends father?

I'm surprised the sheeple can't see how if you listen real hard what they're talking about is trumps America.

[Paladin]

13. That hysterical speech will follow Guilfoyle around for the rest of her life.

Strictly Nuremburg Rally stuff. Nice job, Kimberly; I guess that's what happens when you have a steady supply of sleeping with Don Jr.......
