#GOPLies #GOP

I remember how craven Republican electeds were when they hopped on the Trump presidential bandwagon in 2016. It appears they are now trying to outdo themselves as they chest thump and lie in reaction to tonight’s news of Trump’s indictment on federal criminal charges. The Republican Party has no regard for rule of law, legal process, or really any of the basic principles of U.S. constitutional democracy. It is not a legitimate political party, hasn’t been for years.
Happy federal indictment day to all who celebrate! And we should all celebrate.
@highbrow_nobrow it’s real life Minority Report
As #indictments loom against #DonaldTrump for willful violations of the Espionage Act and attempting to overthrow the republic, let's try to remember that, for millions of Americans, he provided a loud, if unnuanced, voice articulating their heartfelt concerns that they felt had long gone unheard, and those concerns were "why doesn't everyone think exactly like me?" and "not enough people hate the people I feel need to be hated" and "miscegenation of the races is leading to a loss of proper American identity" and "being a stupid, venal piece of shit who has never bothered to feel empathy or learn anything about the country or government one seeks to rule with an iron fist is virtuous" and those people being sad is good because they are awful fucking people who wittingly did and continue to do their utmost to make the country a vastly shittier, meaner place.

So let me get this: instead of appealing to young voters and producing a slate of policies to address the needs of the country, the Republicans want control over universities and are running scared as they are often snubbed by young voters. They are just desperate and it smacks of fascism.

Please do what you can to fight this. Express your support for public education and vote for people who do, too.
