"Charlie Kirk calls for his audience to post bail for Pelosi attacker: "If some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out...Bail him out and then go ask him some questions"

These people are VILE and all of you suburban voters who cannot bring yourself to vote for the Democrats because of gas prices or wokeness or WHATEVER, you are bringing this vileness and violence and anti-democratic bullshit to our nation. It will be YOUR children and grandchildren, and OURS, who will pay the huge price. Think about that, and then go vote for sanity, for an end to the craziness and violent threats we'll all be facing soon enough.

"It’s beginning to look like Republicans go along with Trumpism not because they feel they must, but because they’ve really come to embody it."

Of course! What took you so long? Everyone constantly gives these people an "out", as if they are not grown men and women making decisions to join in the vileness or to remain silent about it.

Why does Steve Scalese, minority whip of the House, get a pass when he condemns the violence and sends thoughts and prayers to Speaker Pelosi, when he was the VERY ONE who stood up and outright LIED about Pelosi being the one to delay the National Guard from coming to help on Jan 6? Isn't he somewhat responsible for the hateful attitude they've built up towards Pelosi? Yes, he was the victim of a violent, political attack, but none of his colleagues were telling bold-faced lies about him to gin up the hatred.

Sorry, all of this just pisses me off with today's GOP, where Republicans, voters, former Republicans, and even the press, keep making excuses for them and giving them ways to escape any accountability.

Until we address the fact that it isn't just the "crazies" anymore, it's the "good" Republicans who are also making this environment acceptable and normal, when it should be neither.
