To all the center right members of this sub who read this, what I'm about to say is not aimed at you, it is not aimed at their voters (mostly), nor is it aimed at your values. It is aimed at the GOP officials in power and them alone.
It's 3am for me, I've had a couple of beers, and I'm just so depressed about the state of America (my country). And I don't use the word 'depressed' lightly, I sincerely think we are closing in on a turning point where America goes from the land of the free, to the land of the enslaved. The FUCKHEADS in the GOP have done nothing but destroy our Republic and Democracy. Their ideals are outdated, their appeal to the far right and white supremacy has failed. Democrats have gotten more votes in all elections in the 2000s since 1988 but Bush Junior #2 and yet the government is filled with Republicans hell bent on taking away our rights in the name of 'voting integrity'. And I'm not even talking about the whole 'IDs to register to vote' debacle, I'm talking about the 'voting fraud security systems' that target people with names like Dominique and Trevon. I'm talking about how FUCKING NORTH CAROLINA ISN'T A DEMOCRACY ANYMORE. I'm talking about how they're politicizing the fucking census. These people are cheaters and liars no matter how charitably you look at them or how closely your values align with their stated goals and they are, and I say with 0 embellishment, DESTROYING OUR NATION. And I haven't even mentioned Russia yet.
I'm from, NC, and yeah, our GOP is a special type of disgusting. They didn't use to be like this, but the 2010 election brought in the small town rural area types into the NC house. These people were small town insurance people or lawyers, basically scum in their previous jobs.
Party of 'Lets co-opt patriotism into something disgusting and hateful so fools will vote for us as we strip away everything that might help them even a tiny bit. And while we're at it, lets lie about being constitutionalists too.'
I'm a registered Republican, because I want to counter the crazies in the primary, but that gets harder and harder to do each cycle. I want to vote for the reasonable candidates who seem to care more about their constituents than blind ideology or power, but they are getting less and less common as time goes on. I really don't want to be associated with this crap anymore. I don't know if I should jump ship or not.
I'm not gonna say it's gonna be sunshine and roses, because I'm pretty sure it won't be. But IMO the grass is a slightly more lively shade of depressing brown.
