So, what does 12 have to do with this thread?
Republicans have degenerated into a hateful nihilistic cult.
They want to destroy government and society.
One of the first acts upon taking office was DOGE destroying whole swaths of the government without even a basic understanding of it, just ending USAID leading to the deaths of 100s of thousands, a proactive severing of historic ties to fellow democratic countries, a destructive ill-conceived tariff program, severing the military from the legal application of force.
Shoot even their whole culture war stuff is founded on hate and the intentional infliction of pain, ex. instead of having an honest debate about trans in sports, or even in society in general, they vilify them based on lies, counter to science and strip them of basic rights all with the vilest of rhetoric.
So, yeah, republicans (current republicans, you know the magat scum type) offer nothing but destruction. What positive message to they bring to ANY topic? EVER.
----, they are now defending actual pedophiles and the head of their party is an adjudicated rapist.
President Piggy is the epitome of the 7 deadly sins. He is the perfect example of selfish, malignant narcissistic nihilism. He cares about nothing, his daily expressions are full of hate and trolling.
That is WHO conservatives are. It is all they have.
I would love for someone to prove me wrong or even to provide SOME semblance of a counternarrative.
