31. The problem with the Republican party is that it's full of Republicans.
Sat Dec 20, 2025, 02:38 AM
Dec 2025

AKA bigoted fascists and misogynistic, brainwashed into believing that they have the right to dominate the world, and plunder and expropriate all wealth and power, while destroying the life support systems of our planet without regulations or hindrance of any kind.
For a shorter description: greedy people for whom cruelty is the point. They think that they will benefit and will escape any consequences.
There's a reason why people vote for, donate to, and support the greed and destruction enacted into law by the Pukes: they believe that their angry, jealous, vengeful and mean spirited God loves them, and only them.
We were shouting the truth about Rump and company, and their Project 2025 agenda, but we were ignored.
For now, we're forced to live with the horrors and destruction. The people we need to focus on are the deluded folks who stayed home and sat on their hands, or threw away their power to create changes by engaging in a protest vote.
We have the collective power to change the future, because there's more of us than there are of them. We don't have the corporate owned McGreedia in our pocket, but we can reach out to friends and family directly and through social media. We can support our local Democratic Party, which is in fact, the only party whose policies actually are closer to supporting our values. The Puke party surely does not, and anything which hands power to them ends up hurting everyone who isn't rich, male, heterosexual and Christofascist.
Our task is to convince enough of the 90 million who couldn't be bothered to vote that their non-action put us where we are now, and that we will all do better by supporting the party which supports more of our values.
