The GOP Death Throes

[Avalux]

I think most of us knew that after being handed a resounding loss last Tuesday, the GOP would double-down and become even more extreme in their hate-filled rhetoric and actions, instead of choosing to cooperate. But what we've witnessed in just a mere week after the election has really got me thinking, since I didn't expect it to begin so quickly nor so vehemently. They will not negotiate and will not go down with a wimper, but instead with a temper tantrum.

This is the last dying gasp, the thrashing and screaming of a party that has long outlived its usefulness, so blinded by selfish ideology that they can't comprehend they're digging their own grave.

So I've adopted a new attitude as I watch this magnificent display unfold. I refuse to let it affect me, other than to be entertained by it. I will continue to support President Obama and the hard work that needs to be done to move this country forward. All the while, watching as the other side goes further down the rabbit hole.

This new attitude is founded in a renewed optimism since Obama won re-election (and Dems made gains elsewhere), that there is still a majority of people in this country who want our leaders to work together to solve our problems, for the benefit of everyone.

The GOP, in its current incarnation, is destined to destroy itself by refusing to accept that they must change, or die.

Sucks to be them.
