Ah yes, moderate Repubs: "well, we're not going speak out against the white nationalists/Nazis/rapists leading our party, but if you all get mad enough that there might be consequences for them, we'd like to, at that point, be welcomed into the ranks of decent people." Fuck no.
If someone is still calling themselves a Republican right now, they have demonstrated that they don't think these things are wrong enough to protest:
--white nationalism
--neo-Nazism
--separating families
--putting children in cages
--rape
--etc., etc., etc.
--white nationalism
--neo-Nazism
--separating families
--putting children in cages
--rape
--etc., etc., etc.
How dare anyone advocate for anyone too malicious or too cowardly to condemn these things to hold public office? You want to not be held accountable for what Republicans are supporting? RUN AS SOMETHING ELSE.
And any Democrat that's willing to be on a ticket with someone who isn't screaming to high heaven about not putting rapists on the Court, not putting children in cages, not banning Muslims, not gunning down Black people? VOTE THEM OUT TOO. Stop accepting abuses of power.
Fucking forgiveness culture, I tell you. Forgiveness is the END of the process. When they've done everything they can to make reparations for the harm they've done. You want to personally forgive someone who HASN'T EVEN LEFT THE PARTY THAT'S PUTTING KIDS IN CAGES? Fine. (1/2)
That's fine. You can personally forgive them if you want, it's your life, your choice. But how DARE you even fucking SUGGEST putting them in power over the rest of us, when, again, they won't even ADMIT TO WRONGDOING let alone work to repair the harm they've done.
The sheer fucking chutzpah. And not the good kind. The "I murdered my parents and am now demanding the mercy of the court because I'm an orphan" kind. The sheer, fucking effrontery.
"Ah, yes, then we can hang out with Principled Conservatives like Evan McMullin." Evan McMullin, who wants to defund Planned Parenthood, opposes gay marriage and tackling the student loan crisis, supports fracking, opposes federal action on climate change, and opposes the ACA.
This is some "well, this guy will only hit us half as much so we should support him" shit. Hey, fellow white women: GET A FUCKING GRIP.
