Going Gozar
PAUL GOZAR, who achieved fame and widespread admiration for doing something disgusting, obviously has no intention of apoogizing for what he did, but rather, to bask in it, to take full advantage of it to enhance his political career. Within minutes after the U.S. House of Representatives voted, along party lines, to censure the idiot for his idiotic behavior, another argubable idiot, Donald Trump, endorsed him for reelection to the U.S. Senate in twenty twenty two. Most fascinating is the fact that only two Republicans, among them Liz Cheney, voted to condemn the idiotic behavior, and that all other Republicans are either saying nothing about the incident, or expressing support for the disgusting message contained in Gozar's crude cartoon. Trump obviously agrees with the idea that violence towards Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is an appealing thought, as do, so it seems, most Republicans in general. The fact that Trump supporters, Republicans, conservatives in general are very angry is clearly demonstrated by their nearly universal claim that the election was stolen from Trump, a response which purely emotional, (angry), and utterly without reason, common sense, sanity, morality, or intellect. On January 6th, within moments after a horde of violent Trump supporters attacked, invaded, seized, and ransacked the nation's Capitol, many Congressional Republicans voted to reject the electoral college results and to overturn the election in favor of Trump. Now, that's desperation. That's anger. Or both. Its also moral depravity, the same sort of moral depravity which currently motivates Trump supporters, Republicans, conservatives, conservative Christians, to dismiss paul Gozar's unacceptable behavior, and, in many cases, to support it. The Republican party has become the party of Trump, a cult. If somebody lies to you more than thirty thousand times and you still follow him; you're in a cult. The Republican party's intellectual and moral level has sunk to the level of Donald J. Trump, and that, in a nutshell, is mighty low. That the Republicans might well and probably will take control of the U.S. Senate and House in twenty twnty two seems, surreal, science fictiony, dystopian. It would truly be incredible if we the American people voted into office a majority of congresssional Republicans next year, the sorry bastards. And yet, crazier things have already happened, like the election of Trump, the continued support of tens of millions of his followers even after he tried to overthrow the government. Hitler was elected to lead Germany even after trying to overthrow the government. Could the same thing happen here? The Republican party has become an extremist right wing populist cult movement, very remindful of Hitler and the NAZIs in the early thirties in Germany, and that is frightening.
