I was originally gonna post this on facebook but when I post things that seem emotionally negative I stop getting consistent, predictable, or desirable responses.
Some people just don’t see the bullshit coming from the GoP.
- Complaining that Biden isn’t bipartisan enough while publicly committing to a strategy of non-cooperation.
- Praising themselves for loving Cops and then refusing to have a meeting with 1/6 survivor cops. Remember when they fought against providing 9/11 first responders with better medical care?
- Claiming all lives are sacred but then supporting the death penalty and going on an execution spree right before Biden takes office.
- Complaining about Corporations having too much power while giving corporations more power.
- Whining about not having enough money to spend on things while lowering corporate tax rates to the lowest they’ve been since 1939.
- Inventing “Trickle Down Economics”.
- Blaming power outages in a state that they completely run on the Green New Deal proposed by democrats that hasn’t even been voted on yet let alone taken effect.
- Whining about Cancel culture while inventing new things to over react about like lapel pins and coffee cups except when Trump does anything. They ignored Trump’s MANY unethical choices, quotes (“grab em by the pussy”), actions, existence, while they FREAK the F out about AOC parking illegally at a grocery store. They straight up canceled Liz Cheney because she said the Biden was elected president. They support the ultimate form of “Cancel Culture” in the death penalty.
- The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and…
It’s like the GOP strategy to hide their complete lack of honor, consistency, humility, and empathy is to shove it so hard into everyone’s faces that they just get acclimated to it and forget it’s there. If anyone does bring it up just stick to the strategy.
They don’t even use the “both sides” bullshit anymore even though that was actually one of their most effective lines. The “Both Sides” thing used to be true in alot of ways and obviously any piece of propaganda will be more effective if it has some truth to it. The reason the GOP can’t use it anymore is because they’ve pushed themselves so far away from the other “side” that they aren’t even allowed to hint that they might be similar in any way. I mean, when you actively court, support, and nominate people who believe the other side is full of cannibal pedophile Satan worshippers you kind of can’t say “both sides” anymore.
God, I remember when McCain was running for president in 2008. That was back when the GOP still had some of its soul. While I wouldn’t have voted for McCain it was impossible for me to really deride the guy. Nut jobs in this town hall meeting where saying things like, “Obama is actually an Al-Qaeda spy working for Iran and we can never trust him!” and McCain stood there with the mic and said, “I’m sorry, but that’s not true. While I disagree with my opponent on a huge number of issues I do believe that he is a good man who cares about the country.”
When I saw that stuff I never would have thought that Cheney would be a disgraced name and that those nut jobs would be Senators. If things had gone they way I thought made sense I would probably still not be registered to vote.
The strategy of the GOP seems to be
- Start some wars to keep oil prices down and screw the economy up to make the rich richer.
- Blame anyone on the left for how bad everything is especially when one of them is president.
- Make it impossible for Dems to get anything done.
- Deride the Dems for taking longer than 5 minutes to fix the largest economy in human history while also trying to convince everyone that the government is supposed to go slow.
- Get power back.
- Repeat
I don’t really have some conclusion or grand purpose to this post. This post is simply my official statement into the void that I have eyes and that I use them.
