this is one of the many over the top things that makes me disreagard them as an option. the whole both sides you have to listen to everyone. not when they are so obviously full of shit. they were never great but at one point they still existed mostly in reality but man. since the 80's its been a decline that seems to be accelerating.
They are so bad, and so blatant about it, that the republicans feel like a fake party invented to keep the democrats in power.
But, as always, the real version is much worse than the fictional version. The blatant shitbags actually get elected constantly! But even that isn’t bad enough. You have Trump, the traitorous corrupt bigoted scumbag who prey much qualifies as the Antichrist on paper, and he is their fucking hero. (“They” being the voters)
I am with you. Feel the same. Still blows me away when I see or hear folks who are for them or see polls with such large numbers. is half the populace crazy? seriously I did not feel this way in the 80's and even the 90's with newt and he was pretty rediculous.
