It's important to remember that Trump suits Republicans—whose entire strategy is engineering government failure to use as a pretext to further dismantle government—perfectly.

This is a party that exists only to demolish society.

A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.

They've created an alternate reality, in which people can claim morality based solely on their own personal intention, regardless of result, allowing them to engage in sociopathic cruelty and overweening moralism simultaneously.

For certain people, it's a VERY popular reality.

To watch Trump succeed despite epic failure is to understand: U.S. society is based on knowing enablement of the violent abuse of marginalized people—mostly young, mostly of color, mostly women, mostly poor—by powerful people—mostly older, mostly white, mostly men, mostly rich.

Any future Republican candidate will have to be stupid, and cruel, and incurious, and venal, and greedy, and indecent, and transactional.

The voters will demand it, because these are valuable qualities in a leader for people whose only principle is doing whatever they want.

They've been killing American citizens by the thousands all year. Thousands a day. 400,000 by the end of Trump's term. Throughout they've evinced an aggressive and malicious pride at their unconcern.

It's fucking evil, and we shouldn't shy from saying so.

It's unacceptable.

If you vote for Republicans, you vote for evil. Cruel maliciousness. A prideful unconcern for others.

This isn't a commercial for Democrats. Democrats have their own problems. But Republicanism is fully metastasized evil.

You vote for it, there mustn't be any illusions anymore.

To expect to remain well-thought-of while remaining a Republican should be considered perverse.

To still seek normal and comfortable relationships with people who would support this evil, now that it's been fully revealed, should be considered indecent.

We have to oppose.
