MODERATORS
This is my answer to everything that has recently befallen Republicans, will hopefully befall them in November, and which they deserve to have continuing to befall them for the next couple decades.
You invited the worst people into the party, and you voted for them, and you defended them. And I don't just mean Trump. For as long as it seemed like you might be able to exert your will unilaterally on the populace, there was no bridge too far for you.
So go fuck yourselves, and I mean that from Donald J. Trump, down through every single elected Republican official, down to every single Republican pulling the lever at voting time.
Unless you rejected this bullshit from day one instead of only when it became clear the ship was sinking (so I guess maybe a dozen R nationwide get a pass), you can go fuck yourself, and there's not a single thing you can do that will ever pull a vote for a republican out of these two hands, because I see who you are, and I see what you support, and I've had a taste of what you think it means for America to be "great again."
They invited them in and became the Nazi bar of the anecdote. Don't let them in, even if they're playing nice at the start. You can't use the right wing extremest for your own ends. They're going to take over because they don't have limits or the good of anyone in mind. Once they're in your tent they will eat you. It's happened time and again throughout history and you didn't learn so now you burn.
