Dear GOP: America is not going to forget -- and many Americans will never forgive

Dear Republicans,

After the corruption of the Coolidge and Hoover administrations crashed the world economy, kicking off the Republican Great Depression in 1929, it took your party decades to rid itself of the stink.

After Nixon extended the Vietnam War to get himself re-elected, unnecessarily killing over 20,000 American soldiers and a million Vietnamese civilians, and then got busted for Watergate and the bribes he solicited in the White House, it took you almost a generation to rid yourselves of the stink.

But you’ll never rid yourself of the stink of Donald Trump. At least never in the lifetime of anybody around today. Trump’s stench is a tragic part of American history that will last generations.

The entire world knows the foetor of his whipping up a crowd of thousands to try to assassinate the Vice President of the United States and the Speaker of the House.

Trump’s minions urinated on the carpets in the hallowed halls of Congress, smeared feces on the walls, damaged priceless paintings from the founding era of our country, and murdered police officers protecting our nation’s Capitol. That stink will never fade, no matter how often his allies try to rewrite history, blur faces, or tell stories about bizarre “deep state” conspiracies.

Much more at the link, I found it well worth the read and truly hope Hartmann is correct:

2. I expect that Thom Hartmann is correct.

I hope the Republican Party of Trump will forever regret having followed his siren song right down the road to Perdition.

4. The media is just as delusional as dump.

There is no possibility we're going to forget, or somehow not understand that recons are monsters with zero plans to help a single person who isn't a billionaire.

7. Sadly, I suspect this is wishful thinking for far too many Americans...

8. I know! Even when we prevail it will still mean more than 30,000,000 assholes wanted a grifting, cheating dictator over

an intelligent, compassionate and extremely competent person that has already done so much on infrastructure, jobs, student loan forgiveness and on and on.
