I get more disgusted everyday with the Republican Party and that's why national Republicans have lost my vote for life until they can demonstrate that they have drowned Trumpism in the proverbial river.
My most recent disgust with this political faction, formerly known as the GOP, was Monday's tweet promoting violence posted by the Arizona Republican Party in which it was asked if their twitter followers would be "willing" to die to overturn Trump's election loss. The answer of course should have been a resounding hell NO, but an activist for the Stop the Steal movement on Monday responded "I am willing to give my life for this fight," to which the Republican Party of Arizona responded, "He is, are you?"
I can't stress how irresponsible this is. The official twitter account for the Republican Party in Arizona is promoting violence and unrest. Who ever is responsible for this should be FIRED immediately and once someone gets killed and it is linked back to this terrorist radicalization online, those people should be charged criminally for depraved indifference.
If the Trump era has taught us anything, it's that Trump's a moron and his devoted and equally moronic followers will take what he or the party says and turn it into violent action.
We all remember Cesar Sayoc? The pizza delivery guy who was riding around Florida in a van that looked like it was better suited as a home for the political Unabomber. Sayoc sent pipe bombs, 16 in all, to every major Democratic national leader in the country through the USPS in an attempt to either scare or kill them. Sayoc plead guilty in the spring of 2019 and this domestic terrorist received a 20-year prison sentence.
I wish I could say that Sayoc is an isolated incident, but it is not! In 2019, a 21-year-old domestic terrorist drove 650 miles from his home to El Paso, Texas to kill 23 people and injure 23 others in order to put an end to an Latino "invasion." It is the same rhetoric used by Trump during the 2018 midterms in which he called the convoys of refugees heading to the southern border to seek legal asylum, as an "invasion". After the fact Trump condemned broadly the murder of innocent people, but by then it was to late.
Even the El-Paso attack was not an isolated incident. The Tree-of-Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh on October 27, 2018 happened in the middle of Trump's verbal assault on refugees coming to America seeking legal asylum. During his unhinged rhetoric in the 2018 midterms, Trump claimed that George Soros, a Jewish business man, was funding said caravans of Latinos. This is not only a lie, but a regular Republican talking point. For years, the Republican Party has promoted conspiracy theories that all include funding from Soros. Again not true.
The 46-year old shooting suspect and domestic terrorist, identified as Robert Bowers, who killed 11 and injured three others during this massacre posted online the following "HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics. I'm going in."
These are just a few examples of the hatred that has been promulgated by Trump and backed by the Republican Party either explicitly or through its indifference to the President's hate speech. There has been a huge rise in hate crimes since Trump took office, but this has been made worse because the Republican Party refuses to condemn immediately his awful rhetoric. Instead they make excuses for his hate speech.
And now instead of accepting the peaceful transfer of power during a Presidential election, the GOP (American Fascist Party) has backed unproven conspiracy theories of a stolen election, which will undoubtedly lead to violence. They will claim after the fact that its just the mainstream media overreacting, but I am here to tell you before it happens, that they are radicalizing domestic terrorists online as we speak. The Republican Party needs to be disbanded and reconstituted as something more sane - like an American Conservative Party that doesn't promote violence and provides no safe harbor for domestic terrorists and that is just not the case in the current GOP, who yesterday had 106 elected officials vote to join that insane Texas lawsuit designed to overturn the will of the voters in four battleground states.
