look. How are republicans so good at turning people into mindless zombies? It is like we are living out Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The democratic party is partly a mess because none of us thinks the party is perfect and we all have issues that are more important to us than others. But we all find our space there. Republican voters (for the most part, I have met a very few exceptions) buy into the whole story, lock, stock and barrel. But to me it gets even more weird. Have you spoken with one and criticized Reagan, Bush, or others in the past? They just don't care. Issues, except for abortion and guns, they will swing with the wind like the whole party. Remember when nation building was bad, but we must stay in Iraq because it is our duty to rebuild it. Remember when we were not the world's policemen? But now we are trying to go into Nigeria, start a war with Venezuela (kind of like deciding to beat up your younger cousin isn't it?)
Too fatiguing to hate them all to the extent they deserve.
BTW, do you know if Trump even mentioned Cheney's death? I can't see him allowing an official ceremony. Which is great Cheney doesn't deserve it.
