"Metaphors have given way to screaming literalism, a sweaty, desperate, constantly-contradicting, throbbing anger and shameless pursuit of power and wealth. With bloodshot eyes and while holding conservative tomes from yesteryear, this Republican Party will sell every principle they espouse and then do it again just for pennies on the dollar." I feel this viscerally. Incredible imagery.

I worked in GOP politics from 1995-2004. I had to leave them as that’s when things seemed to start going off the rails. When Freedom of opinion began to become more and more looked down upon and during primaries it became a game of “who’s the MOST Republican, Republican, with no room for any sort of difference of opinions I decided group think wasn’t for me and fled. It’s about 100000 times worse now. Only the crazies are left.
