Republicans Are The Worst

Current Republicans and Evangelicals say that to save the United States, we must restrict access to ballot, get rid of ballot initiatives, revise our history texts so that we don’t teach that racism exists, teach that America WASN’T built on the backs of slaves and the poor and pass laws that help cement their power, even though those that desire their agenda grow smaller each cycle. That we shouldn’t teach critical thinking because it encourages children to question government and police officials

They would also love to teach that labor had no place in securing the 8-hour day, the weekend, vacations, and collective bargaining. That these are gifts bestowed upon us by our benevolent corporate masters as a sort of noblesse oblige to the working riff raff.

We can’t have people marry who love who they love, regardless of gender. We can’t have people who aren’t Christian in power. We can’t have science if it disagrees with their agenda.

Institutional racism? It doesn’t exist for them so it must not for anyone else. Oh, wait it does exist. Straight, white males are under constant discrimination because they aren’t being treated better than everyone else, as they have in the past.

Christianity is apparently under constant attack by the godless because not everyone agrees with them and will not do things the way they want them done. This, even though they make up 75% of the population, have massive tax advantages and as if shouting the loudest about being persecuted will make it so.

Now, we can’t even investigate armed insurrection in the capital unless we include the George Floyd protests, as if they were the same. A tune called by that deranged Cheeto sputum in Florida. Mitch McConnell said he was open to voting for the commission, but Trump played his tune and they all decided to dance. Apparently, he thinks if no one talks about it, we won’t notice that it was his supporters at his incitement.

If this is their vision for the United States, then they have already killed it. They just want us to worship its corpse, a memory devoid of historical fact and empathy.

I am sick and disgusted by the hypocrisy of Republicans. I hope they burn in that hell they believe in so much. But likely, they’ll pass a law that says they are exempt, just as South Carolina passed a law saying that climate change wasn’t going to be that bad.

(In 2012, the state reacted to a prediction by its Coastal Resources Commission that sea levels could rise by 39in over the next century by passing a law that banned policies based on such forecasts.)
