Once upon a time, GOP stood for limited government. In time, it became the party of “cultural conservatism.”

Now, it’s a cauldron of bitterness, xenophobia, racism, homophobia & anti-intellectualism.

Let's be clear: The Republican Party has lost any legitimate reason for being.

The Bitch King of Angmar

@rbreich Thing is, nothing is new here. The right has stood so long - well more than 50 years - for self above all. Everyone acts like the worst thing Nixon did was a little B&E, forgetting that he literally betrayed the United States in an effort to get elected and prolonged Vietnam for more than half a decade. The rest of the party didn't even force him out, they told him they wouldn't protect him if he stayed.
