Correct. Just check the voting records in Congress. Romney voted for Trump approved bills and measures 80% of the time...more than his fellow Utah colleague Mike Lee. Cheney a similar number. Kinzinger over 90%, for christ's sake. Kemp used his authority as Secretary of State, racially motivated voter suppression, to queer the 2018 Ga. governor's election and beat Stacy Abrams. Kemp is scum...he's some sort of hero because he won't say the 2020 election was rigged? The election that made him governor of Georgia was fucking rigged.

They're all scum. If they're not MAGA, they're looking the other way to stay in office. It's so rare that a bill they vote for is something that is even minimally acceptable to me. But then according to some around here, I'm an extremist. Perhaps. I haven't voted for any Republican candidate for any office since Vietnam...probably since before Vietnam.



One last thing. In November 1968 the ignorant electorate in this country put Richard Nixon in the White House. A criminal who had committed treason days prior to the '68 Presidential election. During wartime, in late October 1968, Nixon successfully interfered in the Paris peace talks because he believed it gave him a better chance in the election. Everybody knew it. LBJ and Republican Senator Everett Dirksen discussed it in a recorded phone conversation...

LBJ, "This is treason, Everett."
Dirksen, "I know."

Nobody did a goddamn thing because to do anything about it would have required disclosure that the Vietnam embassy in DC (our ally) was bugged by the CIA. If the peace talks had generated a cease fire in late 1968, which looked like a possibility before Nixon's treason, US deaths would have ended at 36,000. And Nixon? Quit, but ever impeached, and pardoned for any possible past criminal behavior (including his treason for which he should have been hanged for the deaths of another 22,000+ US personnel in Vietnam) in a backroom deal with Gerald Ford for the office of President of the United States.

Doesn't appear to me that the country has actually changed all that much with the emergence of MAGA.
