Matt, there is a flaw in the ’toon. The way you drew it has more people below the roof than on top of it. Here in the real world the folks inside the building are cheering on the folks on top of it.
The only government on Earth that allows them to be as batshit crazy as they want and they are dedicated to destroying that government.I have an idea that they are of that crazy crowd, the Sovereign Citizens.
Despite the Republican Party’s desperate attempts to pretend they are a REAL party, with ADULTS, who had nothing to do with that past person, the truth is they have built up to this for the past fifty years.
The Republican party is the party of Racism (Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” designed to peel off racist white voters, which is still going strong), Sexism, the Rich, cynical manipulation of the evangelicals (thanks, Reagan), and Big Business. That’s it. #45’s sin was to admit it publicly instead of using politer dog-whistles.
My level of respect for the GOP, as abysmally low as it is, would actually go up if they would simply be honest and re-brand themselves as the Fascist Party of America. They need to have a coming out party, and honestly run campaigns promoting fascism, supremacism, and touting its advantages over pansy-butt democracy.
HAPPY NOW, MODERATE REPUBLICANS??? You rolled over like a bunch of terrified poodles when Hair Furor came in and turned your party into a Fascist-loving group of terrorists, and now you seem to be too scared to TAKE IT BACK FROM THE LUNATICS!!! Well… Deal with the DEATH of your party!
I think it was Mencken who said “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people”. However, the Republicans seem to have made the best attempt in history. They are very good at it, using the Nazi notion that “if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes truth” or at least enough people believe it that it doesn’t matter. Starting with Propaganda radio 50 years ago, they have created not just one lie that is accepted as truth, but one after another. Once one lie was accepted, it became the base for additional lies, eventually creating a solid base. They may have gone one step too far for some of the deluded audience with the stolen election lie but the situation required them to try, or they were going to lose their poster boy. And, even those people who refused to accept that lie still firmly believe the previous 50 years of lies. While Faux may have bailed on them, requiring at least a modicum of validity, there are other media sources that will take up the torch and descend even further into the alternate reality. The Republicans were just trying to delude enough people into voting for them, financed by the 1% ers who owned the propaganda outlets, so they could continue to finance the “trickle down” economy, and get their campaigns financed in appreciation.
Turning into an insurrection wasn’t in the plan. But, the 1%ers and the Republicans have created a monster, and I doubt if they can control it. Frankenstein dies trying to escape from the monster he created, while the monster lives on. This is the Republicans’ Frankenstein.
All you have to do is “google” the Whig political Party to see how this all turns out, keeping in mind that in the years following the collapse of the Whigs, we had the American Civil War, mostly as a direct consequence of that collapse!
Please note that Texas and Wyoming are already talking about secession and that Iowa and Wisconsin are directly defying Biden’s Covid response, even as we speak.
Seriously, give me one good reason why the United States should spend a single dime or a single person’s life to keep Trump’s traitors in the Union. Have a national referendum and let em go. India did it.

In the news…Canada has declared the ‘’proud boys’’ to be a terrorist group.
Maybe the U S could use a dose of Canadien logic? Eh?

Like I said before, by supporting Greene, Boerner, Cruz and Hawley, the GOP is now the American Nazi Party!

It will be amusing to watch the republican party go on trial for supporting Trump.

The irony that exposed the Republicans true underbelly was labeling Antifa a terrorist organization….
