At the every least, Republicans should be shaking their heads in bewilderment, even hanging their heads in shame; but, no, they continue to line up behind the monstrosity, bless his bluster, spin the Big Lie, and hamstring the nation.
Why not just rename the GOP, the ANP, the American Nazi Party; wear the Brown Shirts and strut around the halls of Congress with jackboots.
These are not nice people; I visit some hardcore Republican fb pages to take a peek, and evangelicals to boot, and come away sorrowful, in need of a hot shower and a thorough scrub with carbolic soap. There is no thoughtfulness, but only hatred. There is no compassion, but a lot of je-e-sus jabber.
All of this renews my own efforts to:
1) stay informed with reliable writers who have taken up the apostolic mantle of truth-telling;
2) keep in mind my own faith-commitments, and why I believe them to be true, and how they sustain me in the face of diabolical lies and disinformation;,
3) remain prayerful, that strange and mysterious element wherein a single human being realizes the great host of witnesses that numinously live within and without, conveying the light of the universe, from its very origins, to these moments wherein women and men of conscience, and soul, struggle to find the way;
4) refuse the easy way of ideology and remaining steadfast in using the gifts of The Creator - the mind and the heart - to think, ponder, consider, weigh up the claims and options, and then decide on behalf of things that seem right and just, kind and merciful, good for the nation, for the world, for the soul.
Don't give up, dear friends ... now, more than ever:
