D: How can Republicans support Trump’s attempted insurrection of the American Presidency
R: That is a mainstream media lie, which we will fervently deny is true while voting for Trump in 2024 and supporting other pro-insurgency Republicans
D: How can Republicans support white nationalist propaganda like the Great Replacement Theory
R: That is a mainstream media lie, which we will fervently deny is true while enthusiastically supporting Tucker Carlson and other viciously anti-immigrant demagoguery
D: How can Republicans support a Christian fundamentalist theocracy
R: That is a mainstream media lie, which we will fervently deny is true while passing multiple laws criminalizing abortion and sexual identities that we consider deviant
The Republicans are the party of white nationalism. They are grooming angry white radicals to pick up guns and attack the rest of us.
As they continue down this path, there will only be more of this.
The Party of Lincoln is dead. The GOP is now the Party of Donald Trump & Tucker Carlson & Marjorie Taylor Greene & Steve Bannon & Lauren Boebert & Matt Gaetz & Stephen Miller. Just a bunch of vicious, angry racists who’d blow the country up rather than cede instutitional power.
U: I’m just not happy with the job market or gas prices right now
R: Have you considered voting for the Vicious Angry Racists Who Would Blow the Country Up Rather Than Cede Institutional Power?
U: Sounds iffy. But as an undecided voter, I am extremely fickle & impatient
R: Your analogy comparing abortion rights to purse-snatching is flawed, because we treat the sanctity of human life very differently than personal property
D: Do you also respect the sanctity of unarmed black men shot by the police
D: We’re in a constant in a tug-of-war between policies most Americans want & policies most Americans don’t want
R: You fail to recognize that the only true measure of fairness is that the minority gets their way roughly half the time, no matter what their views happen to be
R: Polls indicate that the majority wants abortion to be legal, but rather than submit to liberal tyranny it’s only fair that the conservative minority gets to make it illegal for a while
GOP: We blocked Garland because fuck Democrats and we appointed Barrett because fuck Democrats and SCOTUS is going to overturn Roe because fuck Democrats
FOX: Angry protesters are congregating in front of Justices’ houses
GOP: Don’t the Democrats have any respect for protocol
R: But if our SCOTUS Justices feel threatened, then how are they supposed to “interpret the Constitution” in any damn way they see fit without worrying if they’ll receive pushback from the people whose lives are affected in very real ways
D: Were those air quotes around…
R: No
R: We will never submit to mob rule
D: Sometimes a response is necessary for a small unelected group of authoritarians who seek to retract a wildly popular civil liberty we’ve had for 50 years for no reason other than they goddamned felt like it
