After the shooting yesterday, the Republicans and Paul Ryan and Donald Trump were busy calling for unity. I don’t remember them urging for unity after Gabby Gifford was shot. Maybe they have forgotten the map that Sarah Palin published showing Gifford’s campaign stops marked with the crosshair symbol. Maybe they have forgotten all the hatred they spewed for eight years. Maybe they forgot Joe Wilson yelling "you LIE!"
If this administration showed the slightest tendency towards compromise, showed compassion in any quarter, I might be tempted to agree that we should work with them. But Trump just appointed Jerry Falwell Jr. to work on his education reform committee, a man more bat shit crazy and partisan than his father was.
So count me out. I love compromise. That's what this country is all about. But not under this President. No! Not ever. As I have said before, this was not a loss, like a loss to Bush or Dole. Trump is an asshole. He told us week after week after week. Since being elected, he has showed no tendency towards tempering his crazed views. He has doubled down. He is dismantling the entire thing, just as the Russians want. This was not a loss, this was a betrayal. My country voted in a Russian agent who is verifying the contents of the Christopher Steele dossiers, point by point.
I see no reason to compromise with, to assist the enemy. I am a PATRIOT. Keep up the resistance.
That's how I feel about it, though I doubt seriously that anyone cares.
