verbally accosting the child for wanting gun control reform 7. This is the bully who stalked Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg through the streets of Washington D.C. She’s peddled Q-anonsense multiple times on Twitter and Facebook and tried to carry a gun into the House chambers 5.Īnd then there’s “Jewish Space Laser” celebrity Marjorie Taylor Greene 6, who’s spent her first several weeks in Congress making Colorado’s 3rd District look reasonable, compared to Georgia’s 13th. To date, she has accomplished nothing in Congress, aside from a steady spate of tweets demonstrating both a complete lack of understanding of either the Constitution of the United States or the basic machinations of government. She’s a III%er in a pant suit 1, a high-school dropout whose biggest claims to fame include food-poisoning 80 people at a Garfield County fair in 2017 where her restaurant served pork sliders to the unsuspecting attendees (without proper permits) 2 multiple arrests and failure to appear warrants for a range of petty offenses 3 and tweeting out the location of the Speaker of the House amid an armed insurrection 4. The party’s stars are its worst offenders - acolytes in the Trump cult of personality who continue to push the party ever rightward, past conservatism into an ugly miasma of authoritarianism steeped in jingoism, xenophobia, racism, anti-Semitism and bigotry.Īcolytes like Colorado’s own Lauren Boebert, doing her best to utterly embarrass Colorado’s 3rd District in the House of Representatives on a daily basis. Now, it’s a cabal of corrupt ghouls, shaking down an uneducated base with wild conjecture, insane conspiracies and unyielding pride in ignorance. It has strayed so far from the simple platform of limited government and personal freedom that it no longer bears any resemblance to a party of liberty. And to that end, the GOP sacrificed any hint of honor or moral high ground they may have once clung to - arguable as that may have been since the Nixon era. The Trump era was a paean to rationalization of means - that no matter what the cost, the goal is all that matters. Over the course of the last several years, we’ve watched the party of Lincoln abandon any pretense of honor.
