Barbara Bush passed away earlier today. She was a Republican...but mostly when the party leaders were still somewhat sane...and human. What the hell happened to some of them?
I attribute it to the being and saying "radical" things to get coverage, clicks, ad revenue, fans, sponsors, money and all the trappings that go with it, plus the factor of being "liked" as it pertains to ego. Rush Limbaugh started it years ago (in some ways) with a few truths about the Dems and the Clintons, but mostly hyperbole and "half-truths".
Fox News followed and "upped" the level with even more lies, more false claims, pretending to be more patriotic and Christian than anyone else, which was entirely false, as they are mostly just uneducated, ignorant wussies who led the nation in "draft dodging deferments" and are basically just a bunch of wimps talking smack through a microphone.
Flash forward a few more years and every half-baked nut case, every insane zealot, every racist, homophobic, misogynistic dickhead wanted in on that "swag" and popularity.
Enter swaggering Bush/Cheney, lying about WMD's and ending up killing millions of innocent people....including 1000s of American soldiers, and contributing to the fomentation of ISIS and unrest in the middle eat and elsewhere. Bush is a war criminal by the way.
Rather than being adult and accepting responsibility for their error of their ways, their rapid fans doubled down and encouraged insane fucks to up the "stupid" so the Moral Majority, Televangelists, politicians, ratcheted up the level of false/faux "patriotism" and Christianity even more.
Enter the fat bastard who never worked a day in life...Trump...with his tiny hands and his lack of moral fiber, lack of moral conscience, his low self esteem which he tries to bolster with false bravado and braggadocio, his 6 bankruptcies, his 3 failed marriages, his sexual inferiority, his lack of moral scruples...and here we are.
Whereas the GOP used to have some level of respectability, its now just a bunch of stupid fucking idiots trying to out macho, out patriot, out Christian each other...and the worst part of all is that they know, that we know, that they know, that everyone knows...they are in reality, just a bunch of "Pussy Ass Coward Ass Pussifed Pussies" which is why they piss themselves nonstop, ergo the desire to surround themselves with millions of rounds and an AR-15 or an AK-47 and a bible which they neither have ever read nor understand...and the same applies to the Constitution.
You want to see a Republican?
Teddy Roosevelt.
Ronald Reagan.
Bob Dole.
Chuck Hagel.
You want to see a well known public figure that is Christian?
Jimmy Carter.
You want to see some pathetically confused people that really need some mental, emotional and physiological help? Modern day GOP leaders, Tea Baggers and Trump supporters. They think hating America and being a Nazi is "Christian Patriotism".
While the average GOP voter might be fine...the party has been hijacked by fucking lunatics. :)
