A RUSH TO JUDGMENT
The Republicans are absolutely bonkers. Fueled by conservative talker Rush Limbaugh, who died today, they now embrace the stance that if it makes sense for most Americans — then they must be against it.
Latest example: Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott blamed green energy on his state’s deadly freeze. Then there’s the former Texas governor and energy secretary, Rick Perry who proclaims the feds need not get involved to help fix Texas’ electric-grid debacle.
Meanwhile, much of Texas is a disaster zone as the state’s Republicans twiddle their frostbitten thumbs.
Then there’s the mayor of Colorado City,Texas, another Republican, who just resigned under fire because he told his small town’s residents that they should just stop whining and figure out how to stay warm on their own.
Throughout the GOP, it’s anything liberal or progressive that helps Americans, they’re vehemently against. COVID relief, no. Fair housing, equal rights, police reform, immigration reform — all nada.
The Arkansas governor, another Republican, says President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill is too much, that whatever money is coming should be distributed on a per capita basis. The poor people of Arkansas are hurting, and yet this guy is playing politics.
Clearly, Republicans throughout America are and will continue to be obstructionists. They know they have lost one election after another. They know that Donald Trump is their Death Star.
And yet they will continue to orbit around him as he draws them into his own black hole of nativist succor.
Rush Limbaugh was an enabler of this mean-spirited stupidity. He was a racist, a drug addict, and a hypocrite who dishonorably received the once-revered Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Wonder whether Rush sees the light now.
