Remember the hubris and the outrage back when Bill Clinton originally got into office. How dare a draft dodger win as President? How dare he cheat on his wife. How dare the Democrats are anything but aggressive in their issues with the evil empire.
How dare they act so liberal and un-American, these Jane Fonda-esque traitors to our country.
And now, here we are, some 30 years later, and the always whiny, but originally perceived “patriotic Republicans” are now America’s equivalent of a Nazi, fascist uprising, supporting Putin’s version of events over our own intelligence and verifiable fact and worshipping a stateside dictator wannabe who’s every inch of everything they vilified on our side.
I’ve spent a good bit of time on sites like Breitbart, Fox and Facebook groups like I Support Donald Trump debating these so-called Republicans with something they no longer recognize — facts. As you are all aware, this tactic is meaningless when dealing with a cult. Lately, you’ll find more republicans supporting Putin over Ukraine, pathetically spouting talking points right out of Putin’s mouth.
Debating is pointless. When they’re cornered with a detail they can’t discount, they’ll either pivot into hatred on Biden or report you for harassment (despite the fact that I never harass, only diligently make my case). What continues to vex me is how frighteningly delusional and anti-American these people are and what they’re evolving into. And how dangerous this continues to be for our country.
I’d love to teach these folks a lesson about real patriotism means, but they are too far gone to see the world beyond their own bloated egos and brainwashed mantras. God help us.
