Tuberville is the Poster Boy for Today’s Fake Republican Party

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

First, “the truth lives here,” and I must reiterate my many statements offering the fact that the Republican Party is dead and has been buried since January 2017. Not a single principle or ideal of the once Grand Old Party exists today within the clowns who claim to be “Republicans.”

When every “Republican” offered unconditional support to an obese, old, white man who is a confirmed sexual predator, a white supremacist, and spent four years attempting to end democracy in America, and was elected with the assistance of Vladimir Putin and the mainstream media on January 20, 2017, it was clear that the Party of Lincoln was nothing more than a memory.

The right-wing has become “the party of no” under the leadership of Moscow Mitch McConnell. They do nothing with the exception of attempting to overturn laws which benefit the majority of the American people, and attack the men and women on the left side of the aisle for doing the right thing.

The party’s despicable leader, Donald John Trump, spends most of his waking hours defending his crimes with lies and attacks on good people. This is our government in the 21^st century.

I doubt you know anything about Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama. Prior to his election, Tuberville was the head football coach at the University of Auburn. He had no experience when he was elected to the senate from the very red state of Alabama, and his only qualification was as one of many who kiss Trump’s humongous derriere without shame. He is the model of a typical “Republican” today, void of intelligence who chooses to support special interests while ignoring the rights and needs of the majority. Tuberville and his like-minded constituents are incapable of doing anything other than coach football or something similar, and he has proven that he is totally worthless twice since the ignorant voters of Alabama gave him a position he does not deserve.

On January 6, 2021, Tuberville was communicating directly with Trump during the insurrection from inside the Capitol Building. He is now attempting to be a leader in the right-wing’s effort to end the Constitutional rights of women once and for all.

Today, Tuberville is blocking at least 250 military promotions for only one reason. He is enacting his revenge on the policy of military leaders who agreed to send female members of their organizations to states willing to offer them an abortion if necessary.

If right-wing politicians spent just a few hours of each month performing the jobs for which they were elected, instead of dividing our nation’s people, our government would be a functioning body. However, it is on the verge of destruction, and cannot be saved unless great change happens immediately. Term limits, and qualification tests would be a good beginning. However, the most important change must be within the electorate. They must become informed and cease the current policy of electing the worst men and women available.

We must blame ourselves. We allow them to live lives of luxury and privilege and do nothing of value.
