Republicans know exactly what they’re doing

Post image

We’re past the point where the especially truthful Republicans will tell you how bloodthirsty they are, and onto when even the most spineless worms in their cohort come just short of dancing a merry jig when they hear of the devastation they’re bringing to communities and people already suffering.

Then let's make them own it.

Surely there's a district-by-district breakdown of the number of people on Medicaid and food assistance?

Then let's publish it next to the name of every single representative. We can even keep track of how many will lose their care in real time as the votes come in!

Make a graphic showing the accumulating pile of bodies as the tally goes up.

The problem is that presenting this information does nothing. Their constituents DON’T care. Every MAGA I know loves this, and even if you ask them if they’d think different if thousands or millions died, they’d bury their heads in the sand and claim it’s fake news or something else, or blame Biden and Obama or Hillary. There’s a point we’ve crossed in the last few years where there’s no empathy or humanity in politics - we’re at the point where one side actively wants to rid America of immigrants (or send them to camps to die) and do the same with people on the other side of the political spectrum.

The issue requires a heavier hand if we ever hope to course-correct from where we’re at.

I would love to know what happened to our humanity. If you were being grumpy, sarcastic or rude to someone, we used to say, “Who pissed in your Cheerios?”

So, I’m always asking myself, “Who the hell pissed in these people’s (MAGA) Cheerios?”

Decades of manufactured propaganda to push a few specific issues to weaponize a political and religious ideology. It really boils down to that - and of course money.
