The Republicans are playing a completely different game.
Winning is truth. Winning is right. Winning is good. The Democrats don’t want them to win.
They don’t care about the public or issues, they want to win, which means someone must lose.
Meanwhile, the Democrats think this is about running the country, doing what is best for everyone. It is so darn frustrating that no one sees it. Dems think they must reach across the aisle and work with these people. I am not talking about the voters, but the leadership.
The Democrats seemed surprised the GOP doesn’t care about the country or their own voters. They just don’t get it. The GOP uses issues, rhetoric and people for one end only and that is to win. Nothing else matters. You dont matter, I dont matter, the planet doesnt matter. They wave the flag not because they love this country, but because it is their team colors and it is a weapon they can use to win. If they to cheat, lie, or steal an election it is okay because losing is the worst thing possible.
Leaders care about integrity. The Republicans are thugs.
The Republicans honestly do not care who gets screwed. They set a goal and then frame their rhetoric, lies and propaganda to reach it. They do this on a personal level, professional and political. Rules exist as limits to what they can get away with and they try to change the rules.
Republican voters do not care if their leaders are morally bankrupt, we should quit acting surprised by this. They are Republicans because they want to win, not because they believe this is better for people. This is why the support capital punishment and harsh laws because they are intoxicated on authority.
Let me put this into perspective for everyone. Trump is displaying serious cognitive issues and no one cares -- not his party, not his wife, not even his kids. Think about that for a moment. They don’t care about someone they profess is the greatest guy ever. He coukdvdie tomorrow and they wont care about him, only that they lost their advantage. His suffering is in reality profitable for them. They will sacrifice anyone to get what they want. They see an opportunity to personally reap benefits, so what if Daddy is talking his way to prison? I got mine.
THAT is today’s GOP.
The Democrats act like it is still a difference of opinion or something and it is about running the country. The GOP is rigging a system to where they always win and the rest of us lose. They don’t give a shit if the economy collapses or the US gets invaded as long as they personally get more than someone else. They would gladly vote away Medicare and Social Security as long as they got to keep theirs.
Democrats need to truly embrace this concept. We need to eradicate these people and drown out their voices, we need to paint them as a fringe group of radical religious fundamentalists because they are. There are way many more of us than them. We need to start calling it lies hate speech and laugh at them.
We need to overpower them and destroy the Republican Party.
