Letter the Editor: RIP GOP

Posted

Dear Editor
If we can stand the increasing stench and scavengers, a careful forensic examination of that venerable old pachyderm of a party reveals decades old scars and more recent wounds along its predator ravaged and already stinking carcass. Let’s put on our gloves and look closely. What do we see?:
Lines of multiple needle tracks from increasingly pathetic appeals/addictions to racist tropes, big money, and more recently fear mongering and lies spreading populism.
An abject failure to debunk an abjectly narcissistic and bombastic ohc* of a candidate for national office.
An abject failure to debunk and abhor that same ohc* candidate who’d defrauded thousands and filed multiple bankruptcies over three plus decades.
An abject failure to convict that same twice impeached, self-centered ohc*.
An abject failure to debunk and abhor that same ohc*, now civilly convicted of rape of another human being.
An abject failure to debunk and abhor that same ohc* who conspired to and actually embraced insurrection against our 247-year-old Republic and was in large measure responsible for the loss of a number of lives of those who courageously defended it on Jan. 6th.

An abject failure to debunk and abhor the clear evidence of a conspiracy lead by that same ohc* to overthrow our Republic/Democracy after the 2020 election.
An abject and abysmal failure to debunk, abhor and dismiss from the party, the increasing number of its candidates who have faithlessly and deceitfully embraced 2020 election lies as well as the conspiracy lead by the aforementioned ohc* to overthrow it.
An abject failure to debunk, abhor and dismiss from the party, a candidate (yes, that ohc* again) for the presidency charged with 91 felony counts against our laws and our democracy across four different federal and state judicial venues.
An while squeezing their eyes tightly shut in denial and repeatedly spouting their little mantra: “I see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing”, the party “leadership” welcomed increasing numbers of ranting conspiracy theorists, accused rapists, serial liars and strutting narcissists into the increasingly decrepit “party” mire, er ranks.
RIP GOP. Next November, why not just vote to protect & preserve our Democracy?
*ohc = “Orange haired clown”
