Republicans Stick Like Glue To Trump-- He Really Does Represent What They Are

>


Like their dear leader Trump, 9% of Americans think there's no such thing as Climate Change. Trump has convinced himself that the Climate Crisis is nothing but a "Chinese hoax. Everyone else, according to a new poll from CBS News, now recognizes that Climate Change is for real and most Americans feel we've got to address it or suffer the consequences. Most Republicans poo-poo the whole idea of it, another reason these people just do not belong in government on any level.




That's the problems with the critique of Trump from the right. Conservatives tend to be nearly as dangerous to the country as he is. Just as the neo-fascist Michigan GOP joined 4 other extremist state Republican parties to openly fix the Republican primary for Trump, one of his opponents, ex-Tea Party congressman Joe Walsh claimed that the GOP has turned into a cult. "State law," wrote Malachi Barrett, "prevents Michigan Republicans from joining other states to cancel their presidential primaries, but the state party adopted changes all but assuring its delegates will go to President Donald Trump and not his long-shot GOP challengers... Michigan Republican Party spokesperson Tony Zammit said the state party’s delegate apportionment rules were changed this year, requiring candidates to receive at least 20% of the primary vote in order to receive any delegates. The other Republican parties with neo-fascist, fully authoritarian leadership who have bowed to the Trump campaign's demands are in Arizona, Kansas, Nevada and South Carolina... Trump’s challengers said cancelling primaries disenfranchises voters and silences criticism of the president." Trump's excuse: "The four states that canceled it don’t want to waste their money. If there was a race, they would certainly want to do that. But they’re considered to be a laughing stock. They’re considered to be a joke. And those four states don’t want to waste their money. Having primary campaigns and having a primary election is very expensive."

Walsh says his campaign is strictly about one thing and one thing only: Trump. And he said the Republican Party leaders, singling out House minority leaders Kevin McCarthy, seem to be "scared to death" of Señor Trumpanzee, which, he said, is "an absolute shame." The shame is that the Republican Party remains moored in the backwards politics of conservatism-- and that includes not just McCarthy but Walsh as well.





"Look," said Walsh, "I believe Trump is unfit. I believe he lies virtually every time he opens his mouth. I believe he’s a danger to this country. I guarantee you most of my former colleagues privately, they feel the same way about Trump. And what they are hoping for, David, is that he loses in 2010. They know, Kevin McCarthy knows, that because of Donald Trump, the Republican Party is losing young people, they’re losing people of color, they’re losing women, and they’re losing people in the suburbs. Donald Trump is destroying the party but yet they want him to leave in two years in 2020, and then they think they can pick the pieces up again. That’s cowardly and that’s wrong... All Trump cares about is Trump. So Trump will use racism and bigotry and xenophobia and anything-- he’ll use anything if it helps Trump... Look, this election is not about Trump’s tariffs or Trump’s debt increases. This is about Trump. It’s a referendum on Trump. The man is unfit. Conway knows that and I know that."

But... ask any of the anti-Trump Republicans about Climate Change. Ian fact-- ask any conservatives about Climate Change. They're too busy with materialism to learn about the threat it poses. No, don't ask Republicans or conservative Democrats about the Climate Crisis... ask Bernie instead:

trump is the culmination of the Nazi party's vector. All the vote fraud and corporate voting machines and gerrymandering... all led to trump.

Much credit must be given, also, to the democraps. If Clinton or obamanation had discovered an inner FDR instead of their inner Hoovers and Hardings and if the party stood for something except their own survival, maybe no trump. But they didn't. And here we are.

It took 40 years of this shit; 40 years of corrupting courts; 40 years of creeping fascism; 40 years of regressive racism; 40 years of creating billionaires and megacorporations so they could afford to buy all government and media; 40 years of voters being too fucking stupid to discern any of it and too indifferent to care that it was all being taken and ceded.

You can write anything you like. Nothing is going to be done until the 65 million lefty voters (who vote) and 40 million of the 75 million independents who are lefties collaborate to find and coalesce around a truly progressive movement. But that would require the 65 million to gain an average of 100 IQ points each in the next few months AND find that elusive movement. AOC publicly burning her democrap card could be that spark, though she cannot run for prez until 2024. Bernie should have been that spark in 2016... but he's not the "revolutionary" he writes in his book about. Elizabeth won't either. No idea where that initial spark could possibly come from.

So it'll be trump again. And very probably never another election, valid or gooned, ever again.
