The GOP has not always been what it is today. They used to have a little…dignity…about themselves…no more.

The Republican party of today is just sad. From rampant racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, denying climate change, and a lack of concern for the average American citizen — to an insurrection where the vice president’s life was threatened after Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election— the Republican party is in shambles!

Don’t get me wrong, the Republican party has always had the same agenda— whether it’s reagonomics, the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, supporting big business, protecting the rich at the cost of the poor, being anti-gun control, or denying healthcare and a livable minimum wage, the Republican party has not changed that much.

BUT THE CHARACTERS???????

My, have they changed…

It’s nothing but clownery, clownery, and more clownery…

This started with the election of a reality TV star as president, then came a cast of incompetent, unqualified, and embarrassing candidates and spokespeople. The Republican Party definitely has an image problem.

The Trumpanzees, or MAGA Republicans, as they are called…
