I can't stand that they think that they can erase the last four years from everybody's memory and go back to pretending to "support the troop." I knew they would try it. It's insulting.
Trump is already being
ranked at the very bottom of the pile by historians, political scientists, and the popularity polls. The damage to the U.S. and allied partners that he has done is easily quantifiable, with plenty of residual yet to be seen. The damage to the American reputation, its morality, and the integrity of its democratic institutions was witnessed by all the world. Yet, with every new scandal, they simply strengthened their cult and dug in deeper. Even Nixon didn't have this blind devotion going for him. The Republican Party turned on him in the end, which is why he quit rather than go through the full impeachment. Today, the Republican Party actually shrugs at a President trying to enlist a foreign government to interfere in an election and a physical attack on them. It's amazing to me that Trump can do so much damage on every level, lose the House, the Senate and the White House for them, and get impeached twice for treacherous acts against the country, and they still choose to worship him. There is no morality and no sense of standard when one chooses to worship a national traitor who is easily ranked among the garbage in American White House history.
They are all victims of decades worth of malicious right-wing propaganda, which has pushed them to think, above all else, that one must absolutely and irrationally hate "the left" at all cost. All else is acceptable in their name. They are so blind in their seething hatreds that they can't even recognize themselves for what they have become. Trump exposed them as traitors. He dragged them and their GOP through the gutter and dared them to complain about it. They refused and they know it. No rationalization for what we all witnessed for years will change that. And now they seek to drag anything they can down to their level in order to cope. Why improve when it is easier to just keep obtusely denying reality and drag the whole damn thing down? For example, Harris not returning a salute is now the same to them as calling the military "cowards, American frauds, overrated, and losers."
It's thoroughly insulting that, after all of this, they think that they can re-appoint themselves as the military's defenders against Democrats and think that the military is just too stupid to see through it. Especially, considering that the military went from
abiding the insulting piece of shit in 2016 to being
disgruntled by 2019, to
not supporting the piece of traitorous shit by 2020.
