Fran Lebowitz, author and speaker, on the rise in racism and bigotry since
Thing 45 ran for office in 2015: “[Thing 45] allows people to express their racism and bigotry in a way that they haven’t been able to in quite a while and they really love him for that. It’s a shocking thing to realize people love their hatred more than they care about their own actual lives.” Spot on. If you ask the MAGAts what thing 45
did for them, they will not be able to come up with an actual fact because all
he did, and all he is doing now, and all he will ever do, is give voice to
their fears and ignorance. |

Bob Good, GOP Representative from Virgina, arguing that the GOP loses
on abortion because they’re not extreme enough on the issue: “We just came off of an election in Virginia. And the narrative now is, ‘Oh, abortion is a loser. We got to surrender on abortion. We got to give in on abortion. We’ve got to be like the Democrats on abortion. Then maybe we can win elections.’ I would argue what’s the point of winning elections if you’re not going to fight for life? But beyond that, what was Virginia’s position? What was the state of Virginia’s political leadership position on abortion? We’re okay with 94% of abortions because we want a 15-week ban. And the Democrats, the other side wants 100% of abortions. So we’re going to rally in the red areas and the conservatives and the red base to fight for 6% of abortions? And I submit that’s the reason why we had low red turnout in Virginia.” Not extreme enough? The GOP wants to ban abortion in all instances
including rape and incest. Yup, a man rapes his ten-year-old daughter and she
is forced to give birth. That’s not extreme enough? The GOP wants to jail a
woman who had a miscarriage in Ohio. That’s not extreme enough? |

Debbie Dingell, Democratic Representative from
Michigan, on Mr-Former-Fake-One-Term-Twice-Impeached-Currently-Four-Time-Criminally-Indicted-Not-My-President-Gurl’s
Christmas message: “I think it was one of the most pathetic Christmas greetings I’ve heard when a former president of the United States who wants to return [to office] tells people on Christmas Day that they can rot in hell. After he went after me, quite frankly, there were men outside of my house with assault weapons and I have had threats. Hate and division are creeping into our communities far too easily. Violence is becoming normalized. Every last one of us has to stand up. We can disagree civilly [but] we need to respect every human being with dignity.” Clearly Dingell doesn’t realize she, and this
entire country, are dealing with a sociopathic narcissist. He has no soul, no
dignity, no honor. He’s a pig. |

Nikki Haley, stepping
into a shitstorm with her town hall answer about what caused the Civil War: “I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are. And we will always stand by the fact that I think the government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people. It was never meant to be all things to all people. Government doesn’t need to tell you how to live your life. They don’t need to tell you what you can and can’t do. They don’t need to be a part of your life. They need to make sure that you have freedom.” Haley refused to mention slavery as a cause of
the war, saying: “What do you want me to say about slavery? Next question.” She later said the question was from a
Democrat plant in her audience, and then later said of course slavery was the
cause of the Civil War. This is America under the GOP; slavery was good;
it was like a training school for slaves; it was on-the-job training. If we
elect people like Nimrata Haley to office slavery will not be discussed in
school as anything more than a blip in our history. Nimrata can fuck all the way off; believe what she says, and not how she spins it later, and then spins it again, even later than that.. |

Arnold Schwarzenegger, former GOP governor of California, on voting in 2024: “For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for a Republican candidate for president. But as proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label that I hold above all else—American. So I want to take a moment today to remind my fellow Americans that it is not only acceptable to choose your country over your party—it’s your duty.” Hopefully, moderate Republicans and those who
aren’t fully invested in the cult will hear these words and know that you
sometimes have to take a stand for your country, even if your party loses
power. Otherwise, we’re going to lose it all. |
