Here’s a Little Humor for Your Thursday: Thank you Fake Republicans

 

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Several years ago, just a mention of the word “Republican” might have resulted in a chuckle, or possibly a laugh. Beginning in the 1980’s, Republican voters selected men and women who had no resemblance to the Republican Party of the past. They were buffoons, but because they had an “R” next to their name on the ballot they received undeserved votes.

Today the situation is even more ludicrous.

First, there are only a handful of true Republicans anywhere in the United States. The Party of Lincoln surrendered its morals and principles to Trump on January 20, 2017.

MORONS LIVING AMONGST US

In 2024, just seeing or hearing a name of one of these fake Republicans brings back memories of some of the dumbest things ever done by any human being.

For example: Ted Cruz. Not only is he the biggest hypocrite in a party composed entirely of hypocrites, he earned the nickname “Cancun Cruz” when the people of Texas were suffering and even dying from a severe cold wave which resulted in the loss of power for thousands, Cruz took his family to Mexico to escape the freezing temperatures.

Marjorie Taylor Greene. Not only does she believe in Jewish astronauts armed wit space lasers, everything she says is moronic. I have no idea how her parents received a birth certificate: she was already brain dead at birth.

There are many, many more, but I would be remiss if I didn’t include your favorite illegitimate president, Donald John Trump. I offer you a few names of men and women Trump calls criminals, liars, and other derogatory terms: Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Robert DeNiro, Liz Cheney, and Judge Juan Merchan. Meanwhile, some irrefutable facts about Donald Trump, an old, obese, white man who tells us, “I have never done anything wrong.”

Trump is a convicted felon, a confirmed sexual predator, a lifetime criminal, a traitor, and a pathological liar, among other negative “attributes.” And yet, he has the unmitigated gall to call other people names. He is the worst person in the world.

HIS PARTY IS PROOVING THAT HE IS SMARTER THAN THEY ARE

I can’t blame you if you aren’t aware, but the Republican National Convention is underway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one of the bluest cities in America. If that’s not hilarious, I offer you more opportunities.

Let’s begin with the fact that the vast majority of these former Republicans were Trump haters who denounced him in 2016. With hypocrisy a recurring theme for this gathering of buffoons, these same men and women are now bowing to “Big Adolf” and offering undeserved and effusive praise. That is a huge laugh.

Think about this. For the last three presidential elections, the right-wing has offered us the best candidate they could find in their entire party. For the third time in a row, that man is Donald Trump. What does that say about every man and woman who claims to be a “Republican?”

But wait, there’s more.

CLOWNS EVERYWHERE

At the red carpet telecast before the annual Academy Awards broadcast, the most asked question is, “what are you wearing?” Here’s what attendees at the convention are wearing this week.

Of course there were lots of the now infamous red, MAGA baseball caps. I thought by now they would have changed the “G” into a “W” and display some honesty. We have always known that those hats actually mean, “Make America White Again.”

Women were wearing hats with lots of glitter. Other clothing was “bedazzled” with slogans or just Trump’s name.

A few were wearing high-top tennis shoes manufactured by one of Trump’s Chinese companies with an image of Trump and a small cut on his right ear, with the slogan, “fight,” “fight,” “fight.” They are selling for $299.00.

Mixed throughout the revelers were white men and women wearing bandages on their right ears. These are the same idiots who refused to wear masks during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic because they were embarrassed by such a silly looking piece of material on their faces.

I know that it is common at political conventions to wear garish and laughable attire. But for me, it seems to be even more ridiculous when attire is designed to celebrate Donald Trump. I’m normal: I would be embarrassed.
