Flame » in reply to The new GOP is not just attacking Liberal principles, they are abandoning their own.

They have no principles, they never did, really...

For 20 years here I have pointed that out over and over... The only consistent stance they have taken is that the rich should get richer, the poor should be punished for their poverty, and darker skin tones need to be kept in their place- but those aren't principles, those are greed, cruelty and bigotry.

They claimed to be super-patriots, but in reality that was nothing more than a club they could use against those that stood in their way- its easy to silence opposition by accusing them of not being patriotic.

The GOP slide into fascism has been accelerating the past 3 decades... and has led inexorably to this situation.

They always were white supremacists - sure they would feign outrage when we pointed it out here, but those same people protesting the 'slander' went on to join white nationalist groups online advocating for genocide.

The Trump voter cast their vote for white supremacy and fascism... they revealed themselves to be the bigoted trash they always were... they voted for Trump because he told them it was ok to be the trash they always had been. He gave them permission to drop the act of being decent human beings, and that is why the loved him so much.

They may be too cowardly to die for him, but they will have no qualms about killing for him.
