Beware of GOP rehabilitation. [View all]

George W. Bush is in the news being interviewed by his daughter, saying a lot of nice things about finding common ground and goodness in all people.

Tucker Carlson apologized for his role in electing Trump.

Do not be fooled.

I was walking the dogs this morning and an older man passed me on his bicycle. He was listening to the radio or a podcast and I could hear it loud and clear. A woman's voice said "Trump isn't... See, the MAGA movement - putting America first - has never been properly implemented and this is where Tucker is coming from..." The host cut in approvingly and the bike moved on...

This is what we're up against. "The MAGA movement has never been properly implemented."

They will throw Trump under the bus as a failure, but they will never give up their dream of a white supremacist right-wing patriarchal nation where it's illegal for a woman to vote or have a job, illegal for Black or brown people to live near or mingle with whites, illegal to be openly gay or trans, and every inch of land is controlled by white men who think it's their God-given right to take every drop of profit out and leave devastation behind.

Do not trust the Republican Party.

Happy Earth Day. Keep hope alive.
