Paul Krugman notices republicans are whiny hormonal teenagers.
His actual title was Where Have All the Grown-ups Gone?
We all know the build up of super-spreader Orange malfeasance, so I’ll skip that to the meat of the piece
And Trump seems to have set the standard for many of his devotees. Many of the rioters who tried to overturn the election on Jan. 6 seem to be very sorry — for themselves. Kyle Rittenhouse wept on the witness stand, not because he felt remorse over killing people but over the pain of being put on trial. The Crumbleys, who gave their son the gun with which he shot up his Michigan school and killed four students, also seemed very upset — over having been arrested.They whine about their freedoms when faced with the unspeakable horror of a face mask, so macho.
It didn’t start with Trump. We’ve been heading this way for a long time. Back in 2006, in the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq on false pretenses and the botched response to Hurricane Katrina, I wrote about the “mensch gap” — the unwillingness of the people then running the country to accept responsibility for their own failures, their eagerness to blame others when things went wrong. Later, during the Obama era, it was striking how many critics on the right refused to acknowledge error when their predictions of runaway inflation or the abject failure of Obamacare failed to come true.
They are more delicate than snowflakes, these magnificent protectors of everything moronic.
am not surprised they are scared of everything real, they take solace in their lies.
They are scared of the Orange balloon.
They are scared of women
They are scared of “uppity” people of colour.
They will go as far as to take possibly dangerous and unproven drugs to avoid taking something proven by billions of people to be safe.
Yet talk about climate change, they’ll flat out deny it and would shoot it if they could.
While Mr. Bennett may have it right, it’s just the proverbial tip of the ice berg. The real worry is that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) ,who is still under investigation for federal sex crimes ( if it were either someone non-white or someone middle-class, they would be in jail by now!) wants an extremist Republican takeover of House oversight. Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan and Paul Gosar all voted to overturn the 2020 election result and have promoted Donald Trump’s election fraud conspiracy theories. In plain language folks, the next Republigoon Coup attempt, if Gaetz and his gang have their way, will succeed and that should scare the hell out of everyone. To paraphrase the great Bette Davis, fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride! Goodnight and Good luck.
Actually, the United States is supposed to be a Republica and not a democracy. That being said, the Q-publicans are opposed to both of those forms of government. They want a dictatorship which they control.

I hope that the GOP’s heart grows three sizes pretty soon.

Unless the DOJ does something about states changing voting rights and districts, democracy in the USA may well be given last rites in Jan of 2023.

As someone said on ‘Morning Joe’ … “The Democrats are playing checkers while the Republicans are kick-boxing.”

With out state rights we have no democracy. The fed and doj are not supposed to run all aspects of the great country. Let freedom prevail.

Sadly, republicans would have to prove they HAVE hearts before those hearts can grow large enough to stop being selfish assholes
