Thanks for confirming the obvious... the problem isn't that they are slow to recognize that the enemies of this country are their "friends across the aisle", it's that they are gutless, limp-wristed, unprincipled pansies, unwilling and uninterested in making a stand in defense of the Constitution. I've never even seen one of these candy a$$es raise his or her voice when the liberal scum are lambasting them with one of their incoherent, mindless spittle-laced diatribes. The GOP is dead to me. The People are going to have to right this ship on their own... some day.
One of the problems is that people have a bias in favor of normalcy - in other words, the GOP has been acting for the last four years as if this were just a normal Dem regime, in which case their normal arguments, negotiations and usual political tradeoffs would have worked.
But this isn’t normal anymore. This is a serious attempt not even by one party, but by one person, using that party, to take over the US and fundamentally change it.
We suffer from the “It Can’t Happen Here” mentality, and for a long time, I think people closed their eyes to the fact that it was happening, and very fast. And finally all but the most mild-mannered, wussiest of the GOP are now waking up to this fact.
We’ll just have to see whether or not it may already be too late.
I figure it will take about a million of us, well-armed with lots of rope and marching on Washington, and not as a symbolic protest.
finally catching on? If so, these guys are balls lost in the high weeds and too stupid to be there in the first place. Know your enemy is the first law of survival. So, by definition, these guys are too stupid to survive and need be removed from the playing field.
