Donald Trump’s increasingly violent vision is coming through loud and clear to supporters like the MAGA gunman in New Mexico.

    Republicans don’t want freedom or justice or anything that they claim to be for. They only want unrelenting flames of vengeance on everything that they hate: which is basically everything that exists. They literally are a lake of fire.

      When my friend became a Republican after a being a lifelong Democrat, one of the first things he started to say was, “never let the opposition control the language.”

      The right defines those words, freedom, justice, with what their empty ideology represent; not their actual meanings.

          I don’t even understand how someone can understand what “right wing” means while also claiming it to equal freedom.

          They are literally on the “authority” side!

        There was a great piece on the notion of Southern liberty (the way the right defines it) vs. the way virtually everyone else defines it. The right’s idea of “liberty” is being able to rule over others.

      When Bush was elected, his main concern was revenge on Saddam. When Trump was elected, his main objective was to show what he would have done during the 08 financial crisis instead of what Obama had done.

      The next republican president will probably be obsessed with getting revenge for the pandemic. It’s what they do and why they can’t govern.

        Cruelty is the point. That’s all that guides the right. The base, anyway. The elite just want corporate rule and tax cuts for themselves.

        No it wasn’t. It was to destabilize the country at the behest of Vladimir Putin.

      Republicans thrive on chaos. They have no desire for any outcome, they just enjoy the chaos through the journey of more & more anger
