They know...

I am no longer able to believe that the Republicans, officials and citizens, that support Trump are unaware of the evil. They know. They know and maybe those with any moral fiber left are just waiting for someone else to call it out. The others don't care. They know he is evil. They know he is destroying our nation and our way of life for generations to come. They know, but they don't care because they think they are profiting or they think they will benefit in some way. We need to just call their evil out, call out the fact that they know they are supporting pure evil and corruption. Look them in the eye and tell them, "You know this administration is evil, murderous, corrupt. You know and even though you deny it, you will one day be called to account."

They don't pass up an opportunity to attack even the most minor offenses of any Democrat in office, but there is nothing a Republican can do that doesn't warrant their praise, no matter how cruel, blatantly corrupt or vile the act. They pretend they don't see this disparity, but they do. They see it and they know they are propping up pure evil. Trump is the vehicle and they are the engine of his evil. They know he is evil but he makes their own evil feel justified. They know. Look them in the eye and tell them you know they know.

What is happening now is the result of 40 years of right-wing brainwashing of America. I don't blame trump. His presidency is the culmination of what they have wanted for ages. Anyone with half a brain knew what he was. It's the idiotic electorate that caused this. That element of the electorate has been hijacked by the demagogue's who have sown fear and hate over the airwaves. They take pride in their ignorance. Someone in the not too distant past came up with an apt description of them. DEPLORABLES.

My little town is seventy percent republican but when I go to the grocery store I see probably seventy percent wearing masks and or gloves or both. If they believe it's a hoax why are they wearing protection? They know.

My mother always told me that eternity is a very long time

They are perfectly fine with it.

One thing all these people have in common. They think they are special enough that whatever trump and his fellow cohorts do, will not affect them, personally. The people it does impact somehow deserve it. Even then they are split into 2 groups. 1 group 'suddenly" see the light, the others wrench their backs, twisting themselves into a knot to keep excusing and supporting trump.

If they die due to the orange one's incompetence and stupidity, they'll go directly to heaven. Do not pass Go--do not collect $1,200 in stimulus money.

Another thought: They've been praying for 40 years that we would die off first and yet we still outnumber them.
