A closer look at our current political travails shows that Republicans, and therefore our Government, is being led by Pariahs.

The original (India) definition a Pariah was an outcast. The current definition is a person who is not liked, respected or trusted. And that definition fits the present Republican leadership to a T. They have taken control of the Administrative (President, Donald Trump) and Legislative (House, Paul Ryan and Senate, Mitch McConnell) branches. Appointing Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court further cements their control of the Judiciary.

Why are they Pariahs? Because none of them are liked, respected or trusted. We all know people; friends and relatives, we don’t like or even respect, and vice versa. But when it comes to trust we draw a line. None of the above named, who are in positions of great power over others; are liked or respected, and most of all, they are not trusted. With their actions, Trump and McConnell have shattered any norms, decorum and trust that existed between Party’s, and the public. And it is not likely to return as long as they are in power.

As a result the Republican Party has become a pariah also. It is not liked, respected or trusted by a majority of Americans. It has become primarily an old, white, male, Christian, patriarchy, pining for a return to the days when their word was law, and only they were allowed to vote. Women and non-whites need to be relegated to the lesser status they once had; servants to the masters. The bright side is that they are dying off, so it is safe to ignore them.

They are the party of the exclusive. And that is why they must be defeated, decisively in November, and again in 2020. Do your part: VOTE
