Defending The Indefensible

THE PROUD BOYS and the Oath Keepers, white supremacist hate groups which embrace terrorism, racism, and the Christian religion, are strongly indicative of, a reflection of contemporary American conservatism and its essential organization, the Republican party. The very existence of two terrorist groups are proof of the moral depravity to which both the Republican party and the conservative movement have sunk. All racism in American society derives from the conservative movement. All identify as Republicans, conservatives, and Christians. Or, if not all, nearly all. The vast majority of them still support Donald Trump, despite his traitorous, criminal actions. These two terrorist groups, we now know, orchestrated and essentially implemented the Capitol insurrection of January sixth, with the overwhelming support of conservative Republicans, whose views have not changed. Proof of this, as if any more proof is necessary, is contained within the abundant evidence recently given to congress by former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who should know, and knows. Meadows, quite possibly because of threats against him emanating from Trump's thugs, suddenly refused to cooperate further with the congressional investigating committee, but it was too late; the cat is out of the bag, as we like to say. By defying a congresional subpoena, a clear violation of law, Meadows precipitated a vote in the full House of Representatives to criminally indict him. Nearly every House Republican voted against the measure, thus supporting criminal behavior, to their eternal shame. Liz Cheney, seemingly the only honoarable Republican left in congress, described her fellow republican's behavior as "defending the indefensible". She is quite correct. Defending the indefensible has become a way of life for Republicans, the party most of whose members still deny the reality of climate change, continue so support the traitorous criminal Trump, and refuse to accept the necessity of vaccinating against Covid 19, and are thus willing to spread death and disease, among other obvious denials of realities. Other than Liz Cheney, there is apparently not a single Republican in America with the honor and intergirty to acknowledge that Donald Trump tried to overthrow the American government, and that the insurrction at the Capitol was indeed such an attempt. They continue to downplay the violent insurrrection, some even going so far as to call it "harmless", or nothing other than a "guided tour" of the Capitol. The republican party, and the consevative movement, is beyond deplorable. It is a traitorous, criminal, terrorist movement.
