Republican Party's Official Position

The official position of the Republican Party is now that the January 

6th  riot  and insurrection at the capitol constituted “legitimate political discourse”.  This is their official position because this is the narrative that  their leader Donald Trump wants to convey.  But judge with your own eyes.  How do these scenes of violence towards police and property constitute anything but anarchy?

Even Mitch McConnell concedes the truth:  “We saw what happened,” he 

told reporters. “It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to

 prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified 

election, from one administration to the next. That’s what it was.”

                                               

With the endorsement of this kinds of behavior, the Republican party has 

shown what it really is:  lawless, corrupt, grasping at power no matter 

what the cost,  a foe of democracy, and a slave to an authoritarian, 

narcissistic egomaniac.  How can Republicans support such a repulsive 

and abhorrent figure as Donald Trump, a Putin fan-boy who never met a

 dictator he didn’t like, a friend to white supremacists and Proud Boys, 

and so ignorant of science that he suggested ingesting bleach as a 

treatment for corona virus.  How can conservative Christians support a 

man who personifies the opposite of every Christian value?  Trump is truly

 the father of lies.  If anyone could be termed an antichrist, surely it is 

him.                                         

Religious conservatives, surely you can do better than this!  Adultery, 

lying, stealing, coercion, intimidation, publicly mocking war heroes and 

disabled people (and anyone who crosses him)....what better  candidate 

for Christians to rally around and support!  What an inspiring figure!  

What a fine example for your children to emulate!  Could any party or 

individual have picked a less inspiring and more contemptible person to 

vote for?  Only if they wanted to burn everything to the ground….
