There aren’t many Republican officeholders who are more shamelessly devoted to Donald Trump than Lindsey Graham. His devotion borders on the blind adoration of a cult follower. He defends every idiotic thing Trump does and says. He salivates at the chance to spend time with Trump at his resort or on the golf course. And now he has confessed out loud his belief that the Republican Party cannot exist without Dear Leader Trump.
Graham made a pilgrimage to the GOP media Mecca (aka Fox News) on Thursday for a prayer meeting with fellow Trump cultist, Sean Hannity. While there, Graham testified as to the salvation he has received through the grace of Trump:
“Let me just say to my Republican colleagues. Can we move forward without President Trump? The answer is no. I’ve always liked Liz Cheney but she’s made a determination that the Republican Party can’t grow with President Trump. I’ve determined we can’t grow without him. All of these people like Herschel Walker, and all of the people you just named are attracted to the Trump Republican Party. Economic populism. America First agenda. If you don’t get that as a Republican you’re making the biggest mistake in the history of the Republican Party.”

For the record, in four years Trump presided over the loss of the House, the Senate, and the White House to Democrats. He never had an approval rating that hit 50 percent. He lost the popular vote twice. He was impeached twice and both times polls showed that a majority of the people favored his impeachment. He is the first president in decades to leave office with fewer people employed than when he started. He exploded the national debt by cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy. He advanced the nuclear aspirations of both Iran and North Korea. He withdrew the U.S. from the international Paris Climate Change Accords. [Inhale…]
[And exhale…] What’s more, Trump incited deadly riots in Washington, D.C. by insurrectionist mobs. He continues to push his “Big Lie” that the election was stolen from him, which is likely to foment more violence. And worst of all, his negligent and incompetent mishandling of the COVID pandemic resulted in the deaths of more than half a million Americans.
That’s the record that led Lindsey Graham to the determination that the Republican Party can’t grow without Trump. No, really. That’s it!
This is the same Graham who, before his epiphany, described Trump as a “kook” who is “crazy” and “unfit for office.” It’s the same Graham who later sought to “harness the magic” of Trump. Needless to say, a sane person would come to an entirely different determination. A sane person would recognize that Trump is a dead weight that is sowing division and hostility through his lies and a cult-like demand for loyalty and unwavering obedience.
What Graham thinks is attracting people to the Republican Party is actually just attracting desperate and frightened party shills to the cult, while simultaneously “canceling” apostates like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney who dare to tell the obvious truth that Biden beat Trump. The American people are not fooled by this. And the more that Trump is embraced by GOP lackeys like Graham, the better it will be for Democrats.

The Rethugs Party is so anti-democracy that they can only be seen as hating the USA & what she stood for, before Trump trashed us in every way. The fact that there are only 2 Rethugs willing to come out & say” “the Emperor is butt-naked”, is sure sign that the Party needs to disband now, as they’ve all (but 2) caught the same fatal disease. Those 2 should seriously consider leaving the Party & going Ind. “Save yourselves!” Leave now!
Of course, Rethug Party won’t disband, since their intention is to take back all the power & then finish the demolition of our democracy, which they have shown they despise. They will then reign as limitless rulers, punish who they feel is a threat, take freedoms, like free speech for starters, away from all but the rich white folks like them. Fascist? Sure, but none dare say so! They will rule as lords over all they see & plan to actually rule the world, with a few like-minded evil leaders of other nations. The “New World Order” is what thry call it & document spelling it out is signed by Clinton as well, so it’s beyond our simple form of politics.
The Rethugs Party is on the verge of achieving all they have dreamed of & worked toward, spending decades getting all the pieces in place so that nothing can derail their plans. Throwing a few crumbs (& threats) at the OG of other Party keeps them in line. No, they will not disband, despite the hunk of shit they have become. Once back in power, none will speak against them. (Rather Hitler-esque, no?) They are so close, they can taste it! And nothing they will not do to get there! Nothing matters more than the Power & the Party. They’ve already shown us that in many ways. Not all are “in the know”, but they go along like good little sheeple.
Since they won’t do the right thing & disband the corrupted Party w/o morals, they should be banned from holding any gov’t office. But, can’t be a 1 Party nation (unless it’s them) — not American democracy! And time for such drastic action was right after 1/6/21. Wasn’t even discussed, despite fact that anyone attempting to overthrow duly elected admin is the biggest “no-no”.
So that leaves only 1 option ~ hopefully, since they are dead-set against getting vaccinated, maybe we get lucky & they kill themselves off?!
But, I have a feeling that, just like Trump family, at least some of the big-mouth cowards in Rethug Party have secretly got the vaccine for their families, while telling people they shouldn’t. That goes for *ucker Carlson too! Guess we’ll just have to wait & see…
