Showing Their Empty Selves

 THE WHITE CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE traitorous republican political party provides demonstrations of its moral and intellectual bankruptcy on a daily basis, as illustrated by the two following examples, two among many. Anthony Fauci has spent hundreds of hours giving testimony in front of congressional committees over the decades, in his capacity as one of the world's most respected epidemiologists. For that, he has earned and deserves everyone's respect. Consequently Rand Paul's vicious, vitriolic, dishonest attack on Dr. Fauci was rendered all the more laughable, all the more pathetic, all the more heinous. True to his customarily insane self, Paul accused Fauci of being responsible for making payments to the Chinese which the Chinese, according to the ranting Rand Paul, then either deliberately or accidentally set loos upon the world Covid 19. Fauci easily discredited Paul, making the Senator look incredibly foolish in front of a national audience; but he shouldnt,ve had to do it. Paul's ranting lunatic attack was purely partisan, political, intended to do nothing but give insult. Tragically, most Republican members of Congress support the sort of nonsense Rand Paul routinely dishes out. Even more tragic is the fact that most American Republicans also support the same sort of conspiracy theory nonsense. There is no more evidence that Dr. Fauci channeled money to the misbehaving Chinese than there is to support Donald Trump's claim of election fraud, which most Republicans also support. speaking of election fraud allegations and the consequences thereof, republicans continue to desperately resist investigating the attempted overthrow of the United States government by president Trump. Trump's election lies, supported by most Republicans, resulted in a violent insurrection to overthrow the government and reverse the election result, which most Republicans continue to support, and most Republican congresspersons would rather ignore the insurrection, forget about it, and move on. Of course they would. When Democrats nonetheless forged ahead with their investigation against all possible republican resistance, Republicans, in desperation, tried to force onto the investigative committed members of their party who not only support Trump's election lie and attempted overthrow, but also downplay its severity, describing the mob violence of January 6th as "harmless". When this craven tactic failed, they simply refused to participate, taking their football and going home. When most members of a political party support at attempt by their leader to overthrow the government, then try to cover up the attempt, the party has crossed the line of decency into treasonous, traitorous behavior. It is no longer either slanderous nor dishonest to describe the Republican party, which is overwhelmingly composed of white conservative Christians, as a treasonous, traitorous organization for engaging in insurrectionist violence, and promulgating dangerous , traitorous ideals and beliefs. Its acceptance and support of Trump's false claim of election theft proves this. The Republican party in its current incarnation, is the most dangerous, harmful organization in the United States, the world, and indeed human history. For confirmation, ask Noam Chomsky
