HW Bush, McCain, and Romney were my GOP voting choices over the years. Now I ponder if there exists a “bottom” to what the GOP will accept. VP Mike Pence, dozens of former Trump administration and hundreds of prominent Republicans pledge not to vote for Trump again. General Mark Milley, whom Trump wanted executed, says Trump is a “Total fascist to the core.”
Some lowlights:
• Trump’s serial adultery, sexual assault, fraud convictions, business scams, tax dodging, THOUSANDS of documented lies, glaring economic ignorance.
• The 5-time draft-dodger’s slur against POW John McCain “I like people who weren’t captured.”
• His “grab em” tape, and general disdain for women. What say ye, ladies?
• General John Kelly, confirmed Trump referred to US war dead as “losers and suckers,” also confirming that as they stood near Kelly’s son’s grave at Arlington, Trump mumbled, “I don’t get it, what was in it for them?”
• Trump’s perpetual bowing before Putin and other dictators. His insistence that Russians didn’t interfere in the 2016 election against mountains of evidence that they did.
• Top Secret nuclear strategy documents knowingly kept at Mar-a-Lago. Hillary’s emails seem quaint by comparison.
• Trump initiated January 6, watched it unfold and did nothing as the J6 Cowards pummeled police officers and threatened to kill elected officials.
• The delusional “Big Lie” about 2020 and his unconstitutional efforts to overturn the vote, promote fake electors, threatening officials, committing Seditious Conspiracy.
• His lying, foot-dragging, and near-endorsement of QANON Covid vaccine conspiracies that cost thousands of lives, mostly among his gullible followers.
• Trump sent rare COVID test equipment to Putin, while Americans died.
Trump’s minions shout “Fake News!” Really? Trump has sued or been sued over 4000 times. But he will NOT sue John Kelly, or the Atlantic Magazine, over his “losers and suckers” statements. He will NOT sue the dozens of women claiming he sexually assaulted them. Why? Because he understands it’s one thing to lie continually to his sycophantic followers; quite another to lie before a judge. Now, you be the judge; an imperfect but fairly normal Democratic Party, or a proto-fascist clearly in love of dictatorship?
