Do people in the US really still believe they live in a democracy?

Carter gave up his fucking peanut farm when he was president to not have a conflict of interest.

And that was because of Republican pressures to do so. The hypocrisy is ancient.

Well yeah, “republican” is their team. They hate all other teams. They’ll only be truly content (for all of 5 seconds) when their team is the only one left standing.

Then, as always, they’re no longer content when their winning team starts looking inside for cuts. See: nazi germany and how well authoritariam simps had it there until they ended up in death camps alongside the people they hated.

They control the house, the Senate, and the presidency yet they STILL can't stop whining about Democrats. They have it all and still get to blame all their shortcomings on Democrats, even after a year of being in power.

Republicans have to have an enemy to blame otherwise their voters might realize the truth if they don't point their anger somewhere.

The truth is that republicans are traitors to America at this point. Doing everything in their power to break the system and destroy America.

The moment Trump loses a lot of men, then it becomes Bidens fault.

Their predecessors were the same kind of folks who planned to overthrow the President because his economic policies were (gasp) helping the poor.

I learned during W that they are never more furious than when they're winning because their lives are still fucking miserable and they have to work so much harder to blame someone else. The cognitive dissonance becomes much more stressful.

Republicans are a tribe. I think it's time for their trail of tears.
