The weirdest fucking thing is that before the election, Republicans were desperate to NOT have Trump as their candidate. But now they enthusiastically beat their drums to the collapse of the country

When you wake up on the back of a tyrannosaurus, you know your choices are hold on or be eaten.

Pretty sure if I wake up on the back of a tyrannosaurus, I'm going to try and kill it so I'm not caught in the crossfire of everyone else trying to kill it.

You just throw a stone in his eye like Jesus used to have to do

Honestly dude I don't know what they are teaching in history classes these days, no one knows anything. How do they think the Hebrews fended off the hittite reptilian calvary?

Politicians in this country are totally focused on the next election. Every once in a while you get someone who can see ten or twenty years down the line, but those are the rare exceptions.

Trump is getting votes, and that's all that counts.

Republicans would be the first ones to bend the knee to escape the purges.
