    Of course they are. If this shit ends in Great Depression 2.0, it’ll end with the GOP losing seats for decades, just like last time.

    Yes, if they had any nerve, they would have impeached him the first two times. Those two times were their last chances to grow a fucking pair, ever again.

    OTOH, put yourself in their shoes. It’s been abundantly clear that opposing Trump, in the smallest measure, costs your seat at the table. It’s a choice of ride the tiger and hope you can still do some damage control, or commit political suicide.

    Don’t get the idea I feel sorry for them. A couple of decades of Fox News poisoning the country, will all the GOP’s support, led them into this ogre’s choice: Die fast or die slow.

    Why the fuck is the community logo a hammer and sickle? Right wingers froth at the mouth to kill Communists. What a dumb design choice. If it’s a Russia thing just use an image of Putin or a bear or something, this just makes it look like everyone here doesn’t understand political leanings.

        The Soviet Union was a union of multiple nations. It wasn’t just Russia. It’s also disingenuous to label the GOP as “pro communist”. Anything remotely left of the moderate right, the GOP labels as “communist evil!”.

        The GOP is the pro fascist party. The communists directly fought fascists in WW2. There should be a swastika or a dollar sign in the logo, since that’s what they actually support.

    The moderate right-wingers are short-sighted, they don’t understand the benefits of full-blown fascism (or they are afraid they are going to be left behind)
