From The Rick Wilson: "We Won't Forget and We Won't Forgive What Trumpists Did to America"
Trump heads to the door before even dropping the cash on the nightstandThat's the last 4 years condensed into one sentence
*****************************
We Wont Forget and We Wont Forgive What Trumpists Did to America
Rick Wilson
The dark is rising for Trumps sycophants, toadies and enablers. Their tough-guy acts and fuck-your-feelings shit-talk have become a furious whine of complaints and recriminations as a toxic slurry of rage and despair has left a stinging bile in the back of their throats that wont go away.
Trump lost, and they cant spin their way past it.
Even as his lawyers are all but chased out of each town where they file their absurd, doomed lawsuits, the true believers still imagine some miracle ]emerging from the wreckage of Trumps campaign.
The media apparatus that monetized the moronic state religion of Trumpism is still pumping their slowcoach followers full of stupid, easily disproven lies.
The Professional Class of Republicans, though, know that the bitter end is herethat their dirty half-decade of personal abnegation and degradation is coming to a sick, sad finale. It would leave them with a sense of shame if they had any.
Most of the GOP, Inc. types long ago lost that sensibility.
Still, America is watching them experiencing a combination of fury and humiliation as Trump heads to the door before even dropping the cash on the nightstand

(53,776 posts)Haven't seen much of Schmidt's writing but if it's anything like his vocal deliveries it must come close to Wilson's.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,686 posts)Schmidt's oral commentaries are formal and somewhat academic. But they're both pretty eloquent.

(12,864 posts)Betrayal from within generates greater anger than attacks by an enemy from without.
Wilson and Schmidt are intelligent enough to know the devolution of the GOP into a cauldron of lies began long before Trump seized control and greatly accelerated the slide into the abyss. They were GOP operatives for many years of that devolution, but Trump was a bridge too far for them.
The fact that the vast majority of GOP foot soldiers marched over that bridge flying the Trump banner is a scathing indictment of today's Republican Party.
Biophilic
(3,652 posts)I'm entirely over being the thoughtful, conciliatory ones. These people threaten my country and what I believe in. They were willing to destroy us for their own gain. No, they don't get to slither quietly back under their well-heeled rocks.

(11,800 posts)traitors because we knew the disaster that would be caused by invading Iraq. Nor will we forget how you recommended the dog whistle racism to win elections.
Fuck this asshole!
Yep. Tweets in support of Travon Martin's killer. Tweets about "the South will rise again". Etc. Fuck this guy.

(51,590 posts)and all those who brought us to this poing starting with Reagun. Our min. wage should be at $20 an hour by now, unions would be stronger, there would be less hatred, our world wide reputation would be stronger too. The GOP has fucked us for 40 years.
This isn't just about tRumpers, this is about 40 years of systematically enriching their greedy, GOP deep pockets and controlling votes and consolidating power since the population is changing.
