All that's left of the Republican party ... [View all]

... is corrupt politicians, grifters, liars, criminals, insurrectionists, conspiracy theory spewers, homophobes and xenophobes, racists, pedophiles, faux Christians, Kool-Aid swillers, low IQers, climate change deniers, loud-mouthed Karens, obnoxious illiterates, the violence-prone, the easily-led, the easily-duped, the hopelessly stupid, and a bunch of men who think the size of their penis is directly related to the size of their firearms.

They consistently vote for the very people who despise them, and who recognize them for the pathetically ignorant fools that they are. They are easily manipulated by bumper-stickers and talking points about "owning the libs" - without ever realizing that they are one hundred percent owned by a party devoid of principles, morals - or even common sense.

What's left of the Republican party is a collection of losers led by a collection of con-artists, a vast angry mob that doesn't possess the mental acuity to understand that their anger should be directed at those who consistently fuck them over for their own personal/political gain.

And yet, all of that being said, I do not despair. I believe that the sane among us will prevail, that justice will be done, that the corrupt will be exposed - and that at least some of the previously asleep-and-unaware will finally open their eyes and come to their senses.

And Kansas is proof that some of them already have.
