The death throes of the republican party (#4414)

      They chose to die on a hill of beans. They chose to die for all the real shitty ideals that racists, misogynists and power hungry dopes crave. That they choose to die is all right with me. I live a life that has smiles on my face, not hate in my heart. The color of our skin is not who we are as a species. It is just a variety of difference. We are all different from each other in so many ways that it is no less an ulterior motive for someone or a group of people to focus on skin color as a detriment. The gender of our species is not a determinate in how we view each other detrimentally. Again, we are a species of human beings where there is no template for acceptance other than being a human being.
     The drive by republicans to force our society into a set of subclasses is endless at this point. They don't even bother to hide their agenda when they openly admit in our highest court that unless they have voter suppression they cannot win elections. They actually admit that fact in a bald faced way as if it was unthinkable that all should be able to vote. What is really telling is that the republican party is still beholden to the dwindling trump base of less than critical thinkers and those many republican politicians who are beholden to trump are not able to remove themselves from under his skirt. Remember, trump has lost the popular vote twice, lost the house twice and lost the senate this last election, so why all the fealty if not for cowardice on their part.
     As much as I relish seeing the end of the republican political party that is more fascist than democratic I still feel the pain and suffering they are not ready to stop inflicting on us as they wither. How much longer will this keep happening is now dependent upon our senate democrats who have the power to put the final nail in the coffin of the republican/fascist party. By eliminating the senate legislative filibuster we democrats can then move our nation forward with progressive/liberal policies that are not unduly burdened by a 60 vote threshold. The coming months will show us if this last election was historic or whether it is just another pause in the republican plan to neuter/spay the working middle poor class.
