The GOP has been blatantly unpatriotic since Nixon subverted the Vietnam peace talks during the 1968 presidential campaign. Every Republican administration starting with him has engaged in major criminal and/or negligent activities that have grossly undermined the Republic and the rule of law.
The "good" news with Trump is that he's ripped off the veneer of supposed Republican loyalty and finally exposed the complete venality, criminality, and sedition that are the hallmarks of the modern GOP. Let's remember that the cultural and political forefathers of the today's Republicans are the Confederates who initiated the Civil War. If their political ancestors were willing to destroy the country and democracy to impose their racist and treasonous "utopia", we should not be surprised by what modern Republicans are willing to do.
You got it right Thornton and as I said, it's scary. Still I think we're going to make it. But if we don't I guess I'll have to move back to GA from NC or go north to VA. Of course, I remember when the Democratic Party was the only party in GA and the national Democratic Party put up with the jim crow hatefulness down there. I read somewhere that politics is all theatre. I think hypocrite is the Greek word for actor. So there you have it. But I'm gonna keep on hoping.
