(22,976 posts)For all their bullshit blather about "patriots," "freedom," "liberty," "the Constitution," etc., etc., they in fact embody none of those ideals.
They live on lies, deceit, the stripping away and denial of rights, persecution, racism, sexism, xenophobia, heartlessness, outright hatred, constant warfare, fear, destruction and private profit above all else. The concept of a greater good is utterly foreign to them.
Their only "progressive" aspect is that they've grown progressively more virulent over the years, like a metastatic cancer on the body of America. This past election, they've gone from proto-fascism to full, plain-wrap fascism: muzzling a free press, moving swiftly and unilaterally to dismantle basic safeguards, and collision with a hostile power, not unlike Nazi Germany's short-lived non-aggression pact with Russia from 1939-1941 (and how'd that work out for the Nazis?).
The party of Lincoln, having completely forgotten who Lincoln really was, needs to seriously and swiftly adapt or die.
