In a Republic, actually
ā€˜Let me begin with a question that a lot of us are asking ourselves. How did we get here? How is it that right now, as we speak, there are American citizens that haven't been charged with a crime, much less convicted, sitting in a concentration camp in Florida while one of the most notorious, evil, child sex traffickers of our time has cut some sweetheart deal so that she has been transferred from a prison in Florida to a Club Fed in Texas?

This sweetheart deal violates the Prison Bureau guidelines that prohibit sex offenders from minimum security prisons. But now Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in that Club Fed after two days of talking to the president's personal criminal defense attorney, who is currently masquerading as an Assistant Attorney General. How did we get to a place where innocent American citizens are held in a Florida concentration camp while this monster named Maxwell is now serving her sentence, taking yoga classes? How did it happen? Well, the easy answer is that we elected Donald Trump. But that's really a cop-out because it's not just Donald Trump.

When Trump first started to dominate the Republican Party, many of my Bush-era Republican friends talked about how Donald Trump had hijacked our party. This never made sense to me. The hijacker on the plane is not popular with the passengers. No one is thanking the hijacker for the chance to go to Cuba instead of grandma’s house. But Donald Trump quickly became the most popular figure in the Republican Party by a wide margin.

In my view, the only intellectually honest conclusion was that Trump didn’t hijack the Party, he revealed it. People don’t abandon deeply held beliefs in a matter of months. When you go from the ā€œCharacter Countsā€ party to fervent support for a guy who talks in public about dating his daughter, it doesn’t mean that you have changed a deeply held principle. It proves that you never had deeply held beliefs. What the party called ā€œbedrock principlesā€ turned out to be nothing more than marketing slogans.’


The myth is that prior to Trump, the GOP was a moderate, slightly right of center party interested in sound governance and responsible public policy – and along came Trump who changed all that.

The fact is that for at least the last 60 years the GOP has been a reactionary party frightened of, and hostile to, positive, beneficial change, inclusion, diversity, and expressions of individual liberty; a nativist, anti-immigrant party motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate; an authoritarian party seeking to compel conformity and punish dissent.

That the likes of Trump would become the most popular figure in the Republican Party makes perfect sense; Trump is in fact a product of the GOP.

If you don't like Trump then don't vote for him in 2028.
 
It’s pretty incredible.

And they get angry when they’re told they’re a cult


The only political we've had was Obama, singing songs about him, naming schools after him even before he was sworn in for his first term, a joke of a Nobel Peace Prize, etc.

Oh, and denying that Biden was totally out of it and was the best Biden that Biden had ever been is also cultish.

Meanwhile, Trump has made numerous peace arrangement around the world, massive trade deals that benefit America, etc. And all folks like you do are dribble out BS.

You do realize that Epstein was a democrat, don't you?
